Significant Technical Input
Not to mention that the crankcase is split at the crank, like a girdle. When it leaks (and they usually do) it's pull the engine and flip it over time. $$$$ Just about anything to do with the engine is expensive. BTW - 'pulling the engine' is a colloquialism, it drops out from the bottom, on the cradle, with the tranny, etc.

I think they're kinda cool cars, in a Toronado (original) sort of way. I'd just be leery about buying one.
