I'd be less concerned if there wasn't a safety factor involved.

On a good car, you pull it into a nice garage. At that point any decent engine lift will lift the engine right out. Just put the hood straight up and disconnect everything. No cutting required.
Why would you have to cut the front cross member? These old cars have like a foot of clearance, and on the new MB's where its a little tight the cross member unbolts?
Even hacking an engine out of a parts car, I don't see the advantage.
