Engine's out!
Engine and box removed today. All ancillaries removed, oil drained. Just the sump and pickup to remove then off to collect the 'new-to-me'
engine tomorrow!

He's whittling on a piece of wood. I got a feeling that when he stops whittling, something's gonna happen. (OUATITW/Cheyenne)

Alex,
Yes, straight swap; believed standard and runs but unknown provenance - well, it can only be better than the hunk o' junk I've taken out!

Me? I'm nearly at the Silver milepost!
Here's the dead engine, probably took exception to being painted pink, although it said 'Red' on the tin:
 
One dead engine
...and the monstrously heavy auto box:
 
Auto box (big and heavy!)
...and here's home for the 'new-to-me' engine once I've collected it:
 
Awaiting another engine
