That looks like a specialized tool for removing something!

Yes, that's out of the brown 60. Prepping next engine today. I'm like a very slow, inexperienced, one-man race team!

How many of you have had to sawsall a rod in half when it's installed in an engine?!? Take a good look at the grenaded engine: the rod you can see was connected to a piston that had welded itself to the block. You can't access the flywheel bolts to remove the bell housing or clutch without being able to turn the crank. It was a gamble that only that piston was welded up, but I was running out of ideas. Luckily after cutting that rod I was able to turn that 46mm crank nut with a long old cheater bar. In the other photos you can see the next engine bolted up to the tranny. I've got some parts, like headers, off the grenaded engine I'll post up elsewhere in case you see something you'll need.
