Video: Watch Hyundai’s WRC team complete an engine swap in under an hour

I will admit, 46 minutes is very fast.  But it is a race car and those guys are trained to do that if necessary.  And they probably had 20 10mm sockets as well.  But just wait.  Some one is going to go there.  Wait for it.

Ah-ha! That must be the only way they could have pulled this off. 

It's pretty cool to watch the pros do something like that.  

Top fuel drag racing mechanics often, if not always, tear down and rebuild a motor after each run...in less than 60 minutes.  A man I used to work with was on a team and he quoted a time of 48 minutes.  His job "interview" was walking into the facility, introducing himself to a disinterested older man reading a newspaper who said, without even looking up at him, "tear down that motor over there and put it back together.  You got 60 minutes."  And "over there" was a Chevy 350, luckily a motor that he was very familiar with and he got the job.

I recall a drag team in the 80's that had set things up like t handles brazed on the rad clamps, they could do an engine swap in 25 minutes. Pretty sure it was a small block powered Nova.

Fastest one I've ever done? Would be about an hour and a half with my dad in a street stock circle track car

Canoe much?

When I first started autocrossing, some 40+ years ago, a couple of competitors were running Minis, so I followed suit and bought one. I regularly trashed engines , and got really good at swapping them. I've done an Austin Mini swap in an hour by myself.
