NOT ON THE BLOCK PAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's out... cool, what you gonna do with it?

I remember dropping my engines back in 2001, it was both an exciting and anxious time, couldn't belive how simple it was in the end and that was swapping engines (SC).

MY car is currently on block paving (fairly new) so I've got to wait for the garage space before I can do anything

BTW is that cola sitting on your boot lid? if so be careful, it will strip the paint of in 10 seconds if it's knocked over

you sure? ive removed literally hundreds and have full workshop facilities including 2 post lifts,even chopping through stuff we dont need for an engine conversion the best we can manage is 1hr 5mins.

One of my mechanics took 4 hours to do it on the floor with jacks,i think i need to hire you.

Wow

Thats quick

Did your timing start from first parking the car up, jacking, draining fluids, disconnecting wiring/hoses etc an driveshafts etc?

there was 2 of us on it and we started the clock when it was up in the air my tech mate is silly quick on geting out engines... and does cola actually strip off paint?

Im not buying just over an hour no matter how many of you were on it.

Good job though.
