strap it onto a pallet, and lots of companies will do it.
it's a specialist item due to the weight.
health and safety reg.s say that by law you don't have to lift anything over 25kg, equivilent to a bag of cement.
random guess, but say the engine weighs 130kg, technically that's a 6 man lift.
if you have means to lift a pallet at both ends, then it should be pretty simple.
a good alternative though is to hire a man with a van, and make sure there are plenty of people to lift on when he picks up, and plenty at the other end to lift off when he makes the drop..
it'll also need to be secured down well so check he has ratchet straps or similar.
your local paper or the yellow pages

I used a company called 'kays transport' they are local to me, but are part of the 'palletwise' network. Look in your yellow pages for whoever local is part of that. I paid about £45 for a 3 day delivery. Its obviously got to go on a pallet, if not your looking at a special trip by a man and a van and a huge bill!
