Default needing to move car

Looking for suggestions on moving the car with the front suspension and engine out. Need to think of a way to move the car in and out of the garage. Dont trust the floor jack with such a small plate area. can anyone think of another way?

some kind of cart maybe??

how much do you think the front end of the car weighs?

was thinking about something like this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=45238

weld couple brackets in it, but im not sure if the 250lbs would be enough

Rent a bob cat and lift the frame up while you move it.
