Kieran, I suspect it would fit in fine....if you can get it in there. An engine crane will foul the roof before the engine is high enough to clear the rear bumper.

Hire a smallish trailer for the day would be a better idea I think.

they fit no worries,ive had a engine and box in mine,

a lil tip

you can use a crain to get the engine in the back but use the shortest rope poss,the closer the hook can be to the top of the engine the better for you getting it in and out then the arm and engine will just go,ive done twice now and it works :lol:

I thought you were going to make a twin engined monster. 1 for the front wheels one for the back.

Oh how dull is the truth. :-)
