Engine Out

Simpler said than done on a 101.

The usual disconnect everything from radiator to throttle cables to Starter cables etc and lift.... up up it comes so now does it go back and out the side like the gearbox or up and out the passenger door like some others.   My answer is back and out the side like the gearbox.

Back is easy with two chain falls and a bar accoss the top of the roll cage to the first  Hood hoop.   Sideways out is harder, the engine in heavier than the gearbox and with the strops I used just tall enough for the chainfall to be right up could have done with 2 more inches.... 

Anyway now have engine sitting on the load bay,   can't quite figure how to lift it down to the ground....

V8 Transportation Device

back to the engine hoist and messing about on a gravel slope to get this down,  finally down and into the transportation device to move out of way. - Note:Need a bigger barrow with 2 front Wheels...


Need to work on a better plan for getting the Diesel in... was hoping not to have to split the Engine Gearbox as I hate re-aglining the Gearbox to the engine.... and if it is all one I can hang it and get all the mounts made easily....
