Well done Brett and Kerenza,thats good going how long in total hours to remove?,ive decided once ive finished the black one im going to pull the engine from the 91.

I want to freshen it up remove the top end for a repaint and replace the sump as ive got a new one here and the sump has taken a knock,i can also clean the chassis.

Brett can i get some copies of the lifting brackets made up so ive got a set down here.

Hard to say how long Cliff as I just did a bit here and there. The guys that pull 'em in the states all the time say 2-3 hours though I think thats going some. Allow a full weekend and that should be enough time working at a steady pace. Probably not worth having a set of brackets made up - just use mine - not really anything to them anyway. People in the states (and Geoff) use a strap round under the engine mounts.

Nice one Brental - good to see Krens' weight training pay off - what with her lifting that engine out just by the sump and the fly-wheel - most impressive.

Welcome to the 368 Club.

Marc's work is considered top notch, good choice.
He's a real nice guy too, met him several times at BG Gatherings.
Have you got a schedule from him yet on the turn around time?
What style of 368 did you decide on?
I know, questions, questions, sorry.
Best of luck with it anyway.

No Cliff I don't. As for shipping cost, I've only got a rough idea so far, soon as I know an exact price I will let you know.
