Once the engine is out the back will be a lot lighter, so weight isn't a concern. I just can't recommend a good lift point, having never done a Porsche engine swap.

If necessary, you can use 4X4 blocks on top of the Quick Jack once you raised the back of the car, so you can get the engine hoist out of your way.

I've done this to raise Subarus enough to slide the tranny out.
That last line is pure gold. Pure gold.
