Im pulling my ka tomorrow and want to know if anybody has any tricks they know of being able to move the engine/trans.

I need something that can be rolled so I can put the engine in my backyard.

if you have any tricks of home made things you can do to move your engine and trans setup please chime in!

i used an engine hoist to yank the engine out.

i then "borrowed" one of those blue flatbed carts from lowes. you can find the same at home depot.

i then lowered the engine onto the flatbed, and was able to move into my backhard.

i returned the cart when i was done.
