wrap some rope around the thing, get a mate in (offer him a pint for the job) and pull the fooker down to the celler, problem solved

TWO?? Pfff - maybe in Irn Bru country, but not in Northampton - we drink Shandy dontcha know 
Remember it's C20XE + F20, not engine alone... and the doorway IS big enough for the pallet... if you don't mind taking paint off the door with you

That's one bloody heavy component then.
Wonder how far I'd get by not having one... imagine the weight saving possibilities!!
Pisses all over your "half-dashboard" attempts
