I did something very similar when I brought home a 2056/4 in my volvo xc70 wagon.... I had the engine strapped to a furniture dolly and slid it up/down a SINGLE aluminum ramp. The wheels of the dolly hung down and straddled the ramp and it was all actually very solid/secure feeling while sliding on the dolly's frame. Then, once on the ground it rolled around nicely of course.
