Hi Joe
Yes, I've done it in a friend's car. I pulled the sump off, marked the bearing caps and rods 1 to 4 with white paint after spraying them with brake cleaner to remove the oil.
I then popped each piston up out the top and then pulled the block off - in our case the tin baffles were snipped open and didn't go back again.
We honed the block and refitted it in situ. Popped the pistons back in, torqued up the big ends, fitted the head and Gino took it up the Simola Hillclimb in May & it's still running like clockwork mouse.
Aye
