it depends on what kinda car...ive heard of people putting an engine in the back of a camaro...just make sure to secure the engine either way you end up going

U Haul will be happy to rent you a pickup truck. The last thing you'd want would be to have the parts shift in the trunk, and then end up gouging a quarter panel.

hmmm you want to rent a car? well since all cars are the same and have the exact same trunk.. sure.

Rent a PT loser or HHR... you'll get OK mileage and have the space.

Rent something. Like y2k said, it will cost more to repair damage caused by a wayward engine block than a rental would.
