awesome proper engineering

one question though - how the **** did (do) they move the completed engines and install it in the ship?

Big crane, bit by bit. Crankcase, then build them up. Easy.

Yep, when steel was steel and fabricaters weren't machines. Like many say these skills may be lost, at real loss to 'progress'!
