I think I was too busy, on that occasion, laughing at the facial
expressions Brendan was making as Huw was cutting his car apart :)

I have assisted in an engine removal/install on a t85 w/o cutting the
support out, as well as doing my own solo engine swap in a 4kq where 'I'
did cut the core out. I consider cutting the core out much easier than
wrangling the engine/tranny around, but I'm weird.

Oh, Brendans facial expressions only got better that night/morning as Huw
took the car out for the 'break in' as well. Sparks, fuel leaks, spinning
tires, and that was all before it left the garage.
