ive seen blocks transported in trunksif anything dislocate the transmission from the block if there is one and make 2 trips.spead carpet/plastic etc on the ground hatch floor car floor whatever.

and take the backseat out if needed.but really.. if u can fit 10 15in wheels+tires back there.. you can fit a KA or SR

We once picked up a KA24E in the back of a Nissan Stanza. We couldn't get it to fit obviously, so we disassembled it until it did.

it might fit.

Just make sure you drain out all the fluids to prevent more mess.

My friend managed to fit a dual cam ka24 in the back seat of his Camry. lol

I've transported motors like this all the time. I have 2 sr's at one point doing it this way.

strip the block down, take off the accesories and manifolds. from here you can either lay it against your back seat and use your seat belt to hold it in place, it fits quite nicely, only takes 2 people to lift, unless you are a bunch of p******. or you can take your pasenger seat out and you can fit the whole motor without taking anything off. I only do this when I have a trans to carry and I put the trans in the backseat and put the motor where the passenger seat goes. it can always fit in the trnk if you lay it flat
