I removed the block on a metro 1300 and left the gearbox in situ years ago - but the engine bay is so much bigger

the worst part is the bonnet slam panel on the Mini - It can't be removed without cutting it , so the block has to be lifted over

putting the block back on the gearbox is really hard as you are so off balance , your feet will want to slip

I would say use an engine crane - you only have one back and even the block on its own is heavy to lift so far away from your body

no easy way out I'm afraid

Yeah point taken bud i dont want to ruin my sex life ha ha ha i wish, engine is coming out now i have had second thoughts, thank for the input
