yeah take off the zaust manifold & strap it down, but put some thick rags under it like i did there

should be fine!

tbh tho you should be able to keep the box ON the engine, just keeps things easier to lift it out!

I lifted that in the boot myself

you might be alright ... maybe take the head off to would make it easyer.... although if you had to brake hard get the fook out of the way

true true bigger engine - more weight

but the 16XE should still fit in the boot with the gearbox attached still as his boot is all stripped out!

it will be fine... i would however suggest standard springs before you go to get it....
