LOL...HA!
The engine did come out reasonably quickly...though those Brits do do a great job at hiding some of the engine to transmission bolts behind/under the carbs pretty darn well. And we won't talk about the engine-mount bolts which are in shear, meaning that the engine has to be supported before the bolts can be removed...but the car is too low for the cherry picker to slide underneath it...

Actually it's not a bad project car to work on...Parts are very reasonably priced and readily available through Dave Bean Engineering.

David
