@@jeffagoddard great question. There is a trick to it, but it can be done in under 30 minutes by just 1 person. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YidYoRN-fjA.htmlsi=CtQOeYdc7KRIJa4C
The trick is to be sure to install a new pilot bearing, and ensure the clutch plates are properly aligned. Some people say you need to install the engine and trans together as a unit. But that increases the weight, and makes it harder to do as a single person working alone. Stripped down, the 1800 mgb engine is less than 400lbs. Much more manageable
