Depends on the Car, the zetec isn't that big with no manifolds on, would easily go in the boot of an average family saloon, I have one on a
stand I can measure later.
Power wise 115 PS if I remember correctly.
If you're struggling to pick it up I can probs help, S26 area.

You will have no probs getting it in, just lay it down if needs be - they are heavy so just make sure you have muscle to lift it in .... and back out

I moved a silvertop which is pretty damn similar in the back of my focus without a problem. Biggest issue was getting it in and out. Engine crane made
that mostly a non issue.
I got an old tyre and rested it on that to make sure it had a comfortable journey 
(also make sure you've got some tie down straps and plenty of plastic to wrap it in case it leaks)

I sold a silver top 1.8 and it went in a small French hatchback with the hoist. It had the manifolds and throttle equipment on and the lid shut when
it was tilted forwards and wedged.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
