Well a short search found something similar, 1:04 to remove the engine from
the car and move it back 1 meter and then put in back in the car.  Start the
car and drive it forward 5 meters in a minute and four seconds, a Guiness
world record (IAW the video).

I am still searching for the video for moving the engine around the car
before putting it back in.  

Still with quick disconnects for the engine/throttle/electrics/fuel line I
seem to remember it being done in ~ 2 minutes.

That I have to see to believe. If you can find it please post it, thanks.
