Ferris Very common to find the engine just sitting in there,mounts all tore loose or oil soaked and melted away. Remember how you used to see engine and tranny laying out on the hiway after a crash ?? That's why thay made captive mounts. Another thing I detected on learning was how college level "sheepskin" teachers learned from their much younger students. That was because those students had worked with old geezers like us,who learned it the hard way !!
