I have a 2002 S6 Avant. I found an Porsche 3.6L engine in the US, but the seller wont ship to Canada. It is an 996 m96 short block.

In long block form, they are apparently about 450 pounds. The short block will be less, but I dont know by how much.

I want to transport it in the back of my S6, if possible. It sounds crazy, but I swear I saw a pic somewhere on here of someone transporting an engine in the back of their Avant.

So, who has first hand experience doing this? I need to know if it is possible, and any other details, like how to get it in and out without destroying my car or the engine.

Am I crazy, or what?

Engine looks something like this in long block form
