That’s pretty amazing, but to be fair I usually have deal with a bunch of rusted bolts and an engine that can’t be lifted out by hand. I did know a guy who could drop the engine in his VW Bug in next to no time.

Never done an engine swap but do want to stick a v8 in something unusual, just keeping an eye out on ebay for a ‘victim’ :D

I’ve only done one “engine swap” not really a swap and it took me almost a year
