Thats what I did when I changed the engine on my 300tdi. Once on the tyres I rocked it til it was off them and onto the floor. I then stuck a shovel under the sump and dragged it into my mates workshop on that.

Put a rope round it then tie the rope to an elephant, walk in front of the elephant with a bun. Thats how i do mine.

WE had to lift the straight 6 out of my mates DAtsun 240Z - that was a heavy lump, took 4 of us. We wrapped a tow rope around the bottom of the block and stuck a bit of 2x2 through the loop at the top - that way you don't have to lift it too high and you're not going to be up close and personal to your mates!
Good luck....mind your toes!

Walk the plank,every time.Two regular general purpose blokes,maybe a bit of rope for that semi-contrlled slide.And yes,a 300tdi IS that heavy.
