Finally got a mate round today to help lift out the old block and lift the new one into place. It wasnt as heavy as I thought once we'd got it lifted.
It feels good to finally have the new block in place so I can start building it all back up again.

Oh and as for what's missing, I reckon it's the cap off that can of WD40

I should have got someone to take a picture of us lifting the old engine out. Both of us standing in the engine bay with an engine in our hands!
It would have looked funny if anyone had walked past.
