bit of an update but forgot to take any pics!

stripped out, bagged and tagged more engine bay bits today, starter motor, altenator all out.
from what i can see all thats left to do now is driveshafts off and then the engine and gearbox can come out.

couple of questions,

can the engine and gearbox be lifted out together? looks pretty tight, but then i hear gettimg a gearbox off is quite a big job so would rather lift the lot out as one lump if possible?

can anyone reccommend a good firm that can do a full rebuild on the engine/bore out etc? need to hear some options on whats best to do with it really, want to turbo it up!

final question, anybody fancy lending me an engine lift for a weekend?
