<VV> OK is it true or not ?

Frank,

I, too, have heard the stories and I bet it's happen to more than a few of 
the people on this list.  (NOT ME!).  If you think about it, it would be 
easy to do.  On the rear motor mount, if the rear nut(s) which are pointed 
downward get loose and back off, there's nothing holding the rear of the 
engine up.  Jack it back up, reinstall with new nuts, and you're on your 
way, barring damage to the oil pan, linkages, sheet metal, mufflers, etc.  
It really doesn't have too far to fall.

I don't think the stories involved the entire engine rolling out, separating 
from the car, the car goes bump and goes on down the road sans engine.  
Funny to think of, but pretty much impossible w/o some serious warnings.  
(drive axles, lower supports, front tranny bolts, tranny and gas linkage)
