haha, sorry to say Jeff, but the link does not work. It requires us to log into YOUR gmail account to view it.

Send me the email and I will see what I can do.

Unless, at this point, if you still think it is worth it after all this. haha

click on the link in your e-mail and go to the webpage. Then just copy and paste the websites address into a post, like this:

http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles...t/viewall.html

Just a website that I pretty much picked at random from my bookmarks. If you have trouble with it let us know. I kinda have a hankerin' to see this video.

The video was an attachment in one of his emails. It wasn't a place he was visiting.

I could have saved it and then posted it from an online storage, but I did a quick Google search and found it.

Here is the very easy way to remove an engine.
http://video.plasa.msn.com/?mkt=en-i...rom=dest_en-id

I tried to do an embedded file, but the forum didn't recognize the code so I just gave the link to the video.

Enjoy!! (On behave of Jeff)

Sorry, thought he was saying someone e-mailed him a link. Why would you attach the file to an e-mail instead of just sending the link? Anyway, yeah, that is one way to remove an engine, and it sure is quick!

I actually kind of feel sorry for the car. It makes me sad to see its heart ripped out.

Was the language Russian? Regardless, reminds me of some bored, good ole boys with not enough tools and too much time on their hands.

I know people like this...
