Mission accomplished.
Thank you very much, you all! (y)
Thanks for the tips and support.

Shortly - it was not an easy effort (for me).
I removed the four engine bolts and after that it is possible to lift up the engine to give enough clearance. In theory.
Good thing is that I did NOT have to remove/disconnect the transmission.

But, there was still a iron engine support bar preventing to remove the start motor. I cut that bar, replaced the start motor and welded back the bar.
And thanks to the tips, yeah, I used a cheap Chinese start motor...


Here some photos...

Above, here you see, enough with clearance but that steel bar (arrow) prevent to remove the old start motor. I had to cut that bar.

Above, the new start motor behind the welded steel bar... I had to cut that bar.

Anyway, thank you very much for all the tips, help and support.
