[TPR] Progress on engine swap

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It took me some five or six  hours today, to actually get started on 
this.  To get some perspective on why, you have to read this first to 
understand what went into this engine that is (currently still) in the 
Mach I:

Then immediately after that, you need to read this to understand why it 
took me nearly six hours to start removing it today:

After I wrote that, I hemmed and hawwed a little more, and then put 
hands to wrench, and wrench to car.  It doesn't look like a whole lot of 
progress from the photos, but there's probably only another hour or two 
before it's ready for the engine hoist.  I figure 23 bolts are all 
that's left holding it in:  One header, bellhousing, torque converter, 
starter and engine mounts.  Everything else is clear at this point.

... and I'm still struggling with some emotional pain.  I'm not 
bothering to post this to the DeTomaso email list.  I'm a loner on this 
one... a  one man show.
