That really sucks man. I was in a bind like this last year about this time.
You might check into renting a rolling engine hoist and buying motor mounts and installing them yourself.
good luck, and keep me posted on stuff that shoots .22 for around $100
This ^^^^^I don't recall what kind of car he said he had, but you can do a lot of engine mounts with a jack instead of an engine hoist.
