Dropping the engine

Last Saturday a friend and I tore into dropping the engine. I've read on the us fiesta enthusiasts yahoo group that it takes between 1-4 hours to perform. I can assure you it is a 6-8 hour process if you have never done it and don't have access to a lift. I think that because all the stock add on equipment is in place, also made more time consuming. The thermactor, assorted plumbing, even the clutch cable caused roadblocks and delays.The plan is to install a livelier cam shaft, check for gasket and seal leaks, and pop on the formula ford head, xr2 intake manifold and a new exhaust.
