Not sure about mondeo in specific, but the usual way with engine bays is to start by stripping out anything that will come easily.
If you want to do it a little more organised then have plenty of contaiers handy for bitts to go in. Large mushroom punets do very nicely or
cake/biscuit tins.
Once the engine is suitably streiped down then useing some form of liftind device (engine crane, over head crane, tele handler) and suitable straps,
chains etc. support the engine block, remove the engine mounts and then either drop the engine down or hoist it up out of the car.
Like I said i don't know the specifics of mondeo engine bays but at a guess there is a front subframe that prevents the engine being lowered
out.

The more you cut out of the front of the car: slam panel, bumper etc. the easier it is to get the engine out.
Also, label *everything*!!! After a year or two it'll be a real issue to remember the connections. I also don't recomemend pencil on
masking tape as it goes faint so you can't read it!  Use permanent marker or something.
Cheers,
James

The beauty of leaving a stiped engine for a year or 2.
Got several like that kicking about, which I dought will ever see the light of day. Usually because they where striped to find out what went wrong
with them and it turned out to be terminal.

When disecting the body work of the car take car when cutting that you don't cut anything you will want latter, best left to the last thing
before engine hoisting.

Sorry for hyjacking but, When its out and lying on the garage floor, What additional bits will be required to make it run in a locost. I am assuming
that if you give it air, fuel, water a battery and a RWD gearbox it can be up and running with everything taken from the Mondeo.
I ask the question beacause at the moment I'm baffled by what I need to source in addition: engine management, fuel injection, carbs, ignition
pack?
I look in the magazines, and buying the engine/mondeo is easy, but when you start looking at £800 for enginemanagement, £900 for carbs... etc It all
gets a bit pricey
Is it possible to use all from the Mondeo?
Any advice?

Type 9 or mt75.All the clutch options are on here with a search.Use either carbs or throttle bodies(I've a set of bike t/b's off ebay for
20notes(!!!) waiting for my next one.Mega jolt or mega squirt(75-500 quid depending which way you go,again do a search on here and google.I was going
to use the mondeo engine bits but with prices as low as they are,nearly $2 to the pound it just isn't worth the effort.
..Which was nice..

depending on your facilitys the easiest way with a ramp is out the bottom including the subframe.
you could drop the car onto a couple of pallets disconnect wiring loom, water pipes, exh, etc and get 6 mates a lift the shell up and roll back

Yes - there was a thread on here quite recently on this - someone had detailed how to use all original Mondeo components and get a running engine.
