Head over to Home depot and buy a furniture dolly. Screw a piece of 1/2" plus plywood to the top of it to make it solid. Jack the whole thing up under the engine (with my 2.2 liter engine with transmission it balances about 4" in front of the sump) when you drop it you will be able wheel it around on the dolly. You'll need someone to balance the engine as it comes down but if you have it balanced right this should not be difficult. When I dropped my engine I had my wife operate the jack and I balanced it.
