As a guy with a 92 that will eventually need a clutch upgrade, I am grateful for the write up as I plan to do this myself, maybe over the winter (or hopefully not if my clutch remains in good health). I have watched an engine removal being performed on my Countach, it looks dangerous but seems all a question of angles and height of the car off the ground, something that experience teaches. I suspect the job is easier on a Diablo as the engine bay is more spacious and the shifter can drop out of the cabin once the knob is removed as unlike a Countach it uses an exposed linkage.

How much did you have to rotate the engine to get the transmission to clear the chassis when pulling it out? What type of engine hoist did you use? The rigs I have seen for use with a Countach are somewhat specialized as it needs to be lifted quite high to clear the car.

I was also told there is a near impossible to reach coolant hose above the Diablo's bell housing that is a good idea to replace.

I bought myself a gantry. Worked awesome. With engine load leveler the job was straight forward and easy. Just make sure you have a second person to spot you. Yes I’m changing the front coolant hose and crank sensor.
