Within first couple of months, set about getting engine ready for removal (apparently not the original - note single carb). Haynes book was very handy here - engine mounts, manifold, bellhousing bolts, hoses and connections were all undone inside an afternoon.Ready for lifting out in other words. Shame I didn't have an engine crane...
So realising that hiring one would call for at least two days rental, ie £50+, due to needing to clean up chassis etc once it was out, decided to wait till a second hand one came up for sale at under £100. A good idea (or stalling tactic) in principle, as it would no doubt come in handy one day for the daily driver, but involved a long, fruitless wait...
