Ruby engine removal?

[Denis Sweeney]

Thanks Bluebird, but that is exactly what I tried to do, rear bolts removed, split pins and nuts removed from the front studs, I then tried lifting the front end but was limited because the block/head fouled the bulkhead preventing me raising the front end any higher but at the same time could not move the engine any more forward to clear the front studs. Hence I removed the block in situ.

The front studs have been removed once the engine was out.
