Engine Removal

[BIG_MVS]

What's the best way to get the engine and box out if you are scrapping the car????

Drop all the guts out the bottom .Gravity's doing most of the work
Out the top is more involved and you'll need a hoist of some desciption .
I can hire you me Pikey Pro kit Two farmjacks, a bit of 4b4 and a bread trolley.On the floor and out the back in under an hour
Pick a day and let me have my pick of the bits

Well this is how my friend Stu and I did it today:

Firstly here is the car so many of you have had parts from. It really was bad the accident damage, we have stripped the front down and it really was not economical to repair......



The tools we used






Slight adjustment to the rear end, reminds me of a Baja Bug



It's out




On a pallet and ready to go to Norway to be installed into a DeLorean.

Oh blimey, Stian bought it.... did you tell him it won't fit?

Dunno I'd of thought that was upto him to find out if it fits or not I have no experience of the DeLorean, who is Stian, he isn't my man.

Why don't it fit BTW?

Proper Pikey .

You could've done it quicker properways I bet though

My mistake - Stian was for a long time the only D owner in Norway, and always interested in new projects and spending money on his car.

Obviously the basic engine fits... but the crank case is different and the engine, as it is in a GTA is about an inch too big in everydifection except straight up!

Put simply, you'd need a new exhaust, and put the turbo in a different place, OR heavily modify the body tub.

Did you sell it with the ECU? He will need the bellhousing in order to use it.

Yes sold it to him complete with Loom and ECU as well as the box.
