Found this little friend on it (hehe)

After a good wash and some patining this is what we got:

Removing damaged engine:

Removed all the attachments on the damaged engine (we are gonna use them). In addition removing the carter and the tranny and washed the carter that has water, oil and piston parts 

Engine without tranny:
