Engine extraction - day two!
I began by cutting out the core support. Obviously there wasn't much left there to save. After doing so I was left with the real job at hand - removing the fender and shock tower from the space formerly occupied by the exhaust manifolds.

Proceeding forward also required removal of the right front suspension. While not normally a required step in engine removal, this isn't exactly a normal engine pull

A shot of front suspension/tire penetration into the cabin.... admittedly, there is something to be said for modern car safety.

...and now we get to the major problem. I'm going to need another block..... (which I believe I have already sourced locally)

Moving forward... it is out!

As you can see here, the mounting ears are sheared off on this side as well.

Current state of the chassis (minus a front strut tower)

I will definitely be utilizing a spare g260 that I have. This one, like the block it was attached to, definitely did not survive

That is basically where I stand now. I'll have to pick up the new-to-me block sometime this week (hopefully tomorrow) and get a space set up to roll everything over.
