This will be the second time that I’ve done this. On the first one I removed intake, heads, and exhaust manifolds. On the one I’m going to try with just the intake removed.

Can you figure out what I’m doing here?

You're sliding the engine on the pipe. I was really hoping to see a length of chain and a truck accelerating away rapidly.

The problem with this scenario is that the newer extracted engine tends to overtake the truck that recently assisted it in breaking free of its mounts, rather than carefully positioning itself in the luggage area that would have been more convenient for all involved. :33:

If done right, the engine is self loading into the truck.
