Drive shafts out (or split at CV joint to not loose your oil!), Starter motor off, disconnect clutch cable, disconnect selector rods, disconnnect speedo cable, remove Amal from gearbox, support engine, undo all bell housing bolts, undo crossmember from chasis, drop down and out mate!
Think thats about it! Sure someone will say if i've forgotten anything!

BTW, what spec is your car to make 252bhp? Is that @fly or @wheels?

Karlos!

you may have to slightly drop the engine down abit very tight in there getting the box off with engine in situ

Excellent! Big grin indeed!

Yeah it is a snug fit you may well have to drop the engine down a bit, just use a trolley jack and a block on the gearbox side of the sump to support/lower it a bit if needed.
