Simple meets complex engineering in unison and usually work well together - until it becomes low on coolant and then the idle quality goes to pot, hunting like a blind fly in a cowshed..........

Perfect timing Alan! Just in time for you to strip it, clean it, check the seals etc, renew the fluid and paint it before reassembling!

The hoist/crane. Given you have no real idea of its history it would be wise to inspect all parts before putting it in to service, last thing you'd want when pulling the engine and box out to fit the AW70 is for the seals to die and drop the engine and box on the front of the car!

Are you thinking of buying a car with a duff engine, sourcing a replacement and fitting it then selling it on?
