Low Budget wedge...
Make it look fancy and pretty if you want, but a section of 2x4 about 16 to 18 inches long (pending on the width of the tilt housing) also works well as a wedge. It also has some shock absorbing qualities by the simple fact that is is made of wood.
Just insert it into the space between the engine across the entire tilt housing (you will find the sweet spot to position it quick enough) and that lower the engine down until it rests on the wood. After a while you will have some grooves in the wood from the "crush" effect and will fit real nice in the same spot all the time.
So that is my low budget (save that money for the gas station) tip of the day
