Well things are more complicated the that for a midget.
4 to remove the hood(bonnet)
4? for the grill
6 for the radiator
I left the starter on.
Ground strap
clutch flex line
motor mounts (can't forget those)
I'm sure there are others.

You will need a hoist, and sounds like you are going to need transmision seals front and rear etc etc cause you will need to open it up.
Depending upon valve cover gasket you may or may not need a new one. This will be the time to replace hoses and clamps as well. And I am sure you will need a new clutch disk and throw out bearing, in any case never pull engine without replaceing these unless you know their history. You can get gasket stuff at the car center that will let you reuse old gaskets. Hmmm, replace front engine seal while engine is out as well, it is in the timeing chain cover where the crank shaft comes out for the dampner pulley. Look at your book.

Just a few gaskets, manifolds, valve cover, exhaust donut.
I usually put a short chain from the rear valve cover stud to the front right side water pump, alternator bracket or some thing in that area. use a 2x4 the strong way have some when help me lift it and someone in the car with a pry bar in case the tranny needs a shove.

For a bit of reference, the attached photos are of some "cow tools" -- home-made stuff to make the job easier. This is the engine pulling aid, with new brackets in anticipation of a clutch job for a friend's MGB... but notice the threaded main rod: it'll accomodate MOST BMC engines form an 850 to the 1800's. Pivots from center on a hook to make the tilting fore-aft a bit easier.

This is specifically an MGB mains caps puller, but a similar one could be made for the smaller displacement engines. The "legs" straddle the block edges and the threaded rod winds into the center hole in the caps.
Both were patterned loosely after the "tools" section in the Bentley manuals.

ok, dont sound TOO bad.....i see valve cover on there..
am i gonna need any gaskets or some kind of kit to put it all back? also how much does a 1275 weigh?
[/ QUOTE ]
It doesn't weigh a lot... I was able to lift mine with the head removed (not out of the car mind you, but once out of the car - I had to carry it from the back of my Jeep to a work bench at one point).
Be careful... once you pull the engine, you'll start thinking along the lines of... "As long as I have the engine out, I might as well..." Always reminds me of that kids story, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin".
Good luck!!!
