Getting ready to pull the V12

I have considered my options for what to do now that the V12 is too damaged to use. I don't have the money to properly fix the Jag engine but I still want to compete at Nationals this year. A generous donor has offered me a modified Ford 5.0 V8 which will fit without too much trouble. It will bolt right up to the transmission I have, weighs 250 lbs less than the V12 and make similar power levels. But before I can install it, I have to remove the V12. When funding permits, I'll rebuild the V12.
All the things that get in the way of removing the engine have been removed

And the transmission tunnel was removed to allow access to the bolts holding it to the engine.
