I took it out with cherry picker.
But I think I’ll put the engine on the side and drop the frame over the engine. Shouldn’t be bad.

Starting to layout parts to assymble.
Cleaning engine mounts and will install engine soon. I think I’ll try lowering frame over engine on its side. Then pick it up with my cherry picker.
But I may change my mind.

Good move. Safest way not to scratch things up.

More done. Some things will certainly take time

Interesting how they cut the cylinder head fins so different than the cylinders. Almost looks like they bypassed a final cut.

I think that was a styling thing. 70s Italian angular themes.
The round cylinder is more ‘traditional’ Italian- although that engine is very certainly based on the Honda (with quite a few changes).
