Drive the 300D to Home Depot or UHaul, rent a truck for a day. Have the engine on a pallet fork lifted into the bed of the truck.. use your engine hoist to lift it out... done and dusted... Safe.
Or... pay to have the roof rebuilt after the engine crushes it in... during a panic stop [there will be one at the worst time] then the insurance claim for when the engine rocketed off the roof and crushed the prius with 3 kids in the back.. One day truck rental is less than $100, most places... be safe.
