 Finally decided to pull the original 105,000 mile engine. Was going to pull it with the subframe but dopey me after getting the steering shaft ready to pull I forgot to actually pull it and when I started to lift the body of course everything fouled. So the engine/trans came out the old fashioned way, which ended up being no problem — pulling from the front manifold runners (strombergs) balanced things nicely.

New 2.2L and W58 is more or less ready to go in. Will do the front suspension, paint the engine compartment (I didn’t do it when I did the bodywork and paint back in 2011(!) and seat covers, carpet etc. as well. Now that she’s apart I have impetus to actually finish it.
