If your on your own its heavy, if there are two of you it isnt.
Most people can take one out themselves and refit it.
To carry it I would recommend two people.

yeah, removing from vehicle can be done by one person (and a trolly jack 🙂 ), but lifting it takes two (unless you want to split yourself a second a**hole!)

I can lift a bare engine (eg no tin ware, carbies etc) just the case, barrels, heads nad internals. But not something i would like to do all the time.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
