doubt you'll lift it on your own, unless your seriously stacked.
better chance if it's less head aswell, but i'd rope someone in to help

mist, an engine is a bit more of an awkward shape to hols onto than a lintle, but if you can carry 200 keys on your own, then you should breeze a box-less engine.

The answer is no. You will need a crane or you will need to loop some rope around the top, hang it off of a piece of wood and get somone to help you.

you talking about lifting into/out of a car here or just transportation?
2people could lift it into a van pretty simply.

I believe they're just under 80kgs. Either way, I'd get another pair of hands to help if you value your back

Two people can easily lift it on a pallet, but it's awkward to move if it's not on anything.
With the gearbox on, it's still too heavy for three, so just tie some rope to it and drag it....
