When I seen it on Friday afternoon, the engine was pretty much stripped and waiting to be pulled.

I bet Ross and Vince get that done today!

I've always had trouble with my seen and saws.

You've been spending too much time in the valleys!

Ross took a couple of photos.


p.s. I've been thinking about your engine mount and I reckon it would be easier to make a bespoke one.

thats the easy bit ripping the engine out! its amazing tough how much the front suspension comes up after taking the engine and GB out! ive been standing for about a week as was waiting for stuff in the post. had other things to do on it but am trying tundra manifolds on to see if can squeeze the manifold flanges comfortabley between the torsion bars and get the engine to sit lower and see if its low enough for the oil filter to be below the chassis rail. it does mean modding the sump etc but could mean no need for body lift or getting the engine to sit level? its more a play around of options before set it in steel so to speak

I didn't rip the engine out!
It was like removing a kidney.
