Default where to get an engine support

I am in the process of ripping out my clutch. Where do I get the straight jack to hold the oil pan up when i remove the clutch so there is no damage to the car. I looked and couldn't source one. Can I use a let's say.... dry wall hold up things at home depot? thanks

You can use a floor jack, a stack of wood blocks or a hyraulic bottle jack with a piece of wood under the oil pan for support.
