Dropping the engine is even easier than in the Bugs because it needs less
clearance to come out.  When I take the motor out of a Bug I always have to
take it off the jack to get it out from under the car or get another floor
jack and jack the car up even further.

The Type 4 motors will require some cutting of the engine compartment.
