Ah, but you dont' know my style <g>. The 7 bolts where, 5 on the right
mount (need to pull the mount out to lift out the top) and the 2 on the
nose mount. The rear mount had the large nut holding it in already removed
(base part still on the Pickup), and the left motor mount was completely
out (along with the head). Notice that I didn't go under the vehicle at any
point durring the motor pull itself, I *really* don't like the thought of
getting the drivetrain dropped on me!

The motor is out, the hood remained on, and I have the clutch and flywheel
in hand. I also have access to the needed measurements to fit my adapter
now.
