I would not put an engine in the trunk of any car. How are you going to secure it? I think $29.95 at Home Depot gets you a pickup for a day.

Look in the manual if you are still running stock.

If you have aftermarket wheels or tires you need to look at those as well.

Take the lowest of all three

or figure load = 4 people at 200 each 100 lbs groceries = 900 lbs minus driver

Are you talking about putting that in the car to be the engine for the car? Or just to haul it somewhere?

Yeah, I think trunk capacity would be GVWR - (5 x 150lbs for passengers) = cargo capacity.
