Unplug all electrical, both motor and gearbox.

Fuel lines, water hoses, heater hoses.

Unbolt the exhaust from the manifold and the cat.

Remove tailshaft, bolts will be done with loctite, so they will take some shifting. If you don't have a spare yoke to put in the back of the gearbox, it will pay to drain the gearbox as there will be one hell of a mess as the trans fluid drains out the output shaft.

Disconnect transmission lines form the gearbox.

Remove airbox and pipework.

Unbolt the AC Compressor from the block and just sit it aside if you haven't drained it. If you have, unbolt it and put aside ensuring that you seal up any open ports.

If I think of anything else, I will add it. No different than removing an engine from an E series or an AU really.

Awsome.. Thanks mate. il go start doing that now :D. When i was cutting the top front off the car there is a big loom of wires that ran from 1side of the bumper to the other, i think its for the lights and blinkers, it got crushed between sum metal and got dammaged. I only need to keep the engine wireing part for this mad is that right?
