At this point, seeing what grapejuice did, I think I'll try taking the intake off. Then I'll be able to get the hook/chains down low to lift the engine out and clear things. I think I'll pull the elec fan, throw a board in there to protect rad and see if it'll work.
I don't want to have to align body parts if I can avoid it. Tried that in the past and it was difficult at the time.
