Yeah, they had obviously made some modifications to make it faster to change, and being a carbureted motor made things a lot simpler.

I do wonder about axles and fuel lines, the car only ran for a few seconds each time so it's more than possible that they were just running on what was in the carb bowl. And you didn't see the car move before the swap so I suspect they may have not had the driveshafts connected, as the old motor came out awfully quickly.

Impressive for sure, but I would be more interested to see the mechanics of how they did it.

There are quite a few very impressive videos on YouTube of the world rally teams, like this gearbox change demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLLvB_RHqfg).
