the car was missing engine mounts and hood bolts? Still impressive but I think the rules for fastest engine swap should say like must be originial complete car from start to finish? Know what I mean?
they didn't even bolt the new engine down... no trany fluid (one can only hope there was oil already in the engine), but still pretty impressive!

^^^ Exactly. It was also probably carbed, which would limit the amount of electrical. It also may not have had an alternator. A couple of fuel lines, a throttle cable, one or two major connectors, and then the axles.

Read the comments below the video. They only used 1 axle and the diff was welded to allow this. Then when they pull/install the engine the guy underneath just guides the axle in or out. I assume no c-clip. If you make some sort of slot for the motor mounts to fit in then that will eliminate the bolting of the engine. QD's for the engine harness and fuel lines, hydro clutch, starter cable....

no hydro clutch in that, also no harness, just the coil lead to the cap and fuel line (carbed). also didn't see any coolent hoses or wetness of any kind.

for the short time it was running it probably wouldn't overheat, plus that would have just added time to the clock
