Ripping the Heart from the Ferrari 308 GTBi – Part 1 – Engine Removal

Starting from the bottom of the car, I'm working to remove everything necessary to get the engine pulled from the Ferrari 308 GTBi. The 2.9-liter V8 must come out from the top, meaning everything attached must come off to minimize engine size. It's my first time removing the engine from a mid-engined car, and the steps necessary have taken a bit longer than anticipated... After a full day, though, I'm ready to tackle the engine from the top side, and hope one more day of work will yield an engine freed from its tomb.
