[Spridgets] Engine out!

[andrewpayne at intrex.net]

Found the ground strap, it goes to the front.  This is a cable under slight tension. It is retained, but can twist at the engine but screws into the body then has a jamb nut.  I'm sure that it does ground, but pretty sure that it's not the purpose.

Congratulations!

Cable is likely the ground strap.

> With the help of a friend, the engine and gearbox came out today.  A few
steps were unnecessary, probably for other models.  Our main problem came
with low ceiling height limiting the hoist and needing the car on stands
because the hoist was too wide and tall to fit under the wheels and
suspension.

bellhousing to the chassis near the transmission mount?  I assume it is a
torque limiting device, but I did not find it in the books while we were
working.
