One of the more difficult items to remove from Centurion is the radiator. Although it is not very big, there are a total of six bolts that hold it in; "It ain't going anywhere." There's two on each side (an upper and a lower) and two on the bottom. Add to that a puke tank, upper and lower hoses, and electric fan with associated wiring round out the picture.

Almost looks like enough room for a couple more cylinders!
Here's another angle that gives a frontal look at "Big Mama" as she waits to be ejected from the Mothership:

Fast forwarding through the disconnect of the battery, fuel lines, exhaust pipe, alternator, throttle and shut-off cables - there's still a few more things to do before the D850 can be lifted out of its engine bay.

And those wonderful items are located elsewhere.... so get ready to play "Twister"!
