Piece of cake. Take a gas giant, gig giant magnetic accelerators as fusion torches and fuel them from the atmosphere. Then just swing the gas giant into a lower solar orbit, pick up Venus as a satellite, then move it back out. 

Worked for moving Earth out of reach of Sol's expansion into a gas giant in Niven's "World out of Time".
