I don't think you're going to be able to tip the engine enough to clear the oil pan otherwise. If you force it you may damage the input shaft, bearing or oil seal; output shaft, bearing or oil seal; or the drive shaft or carrier bearing. I could be wrong though... If you find otherwise let us know.
