I'm pulling the /6 motor and trans Saturday in preparation for body/rust repair to the right quarter/suspension console/longitudinal. I'd like to do it with the car on my 4-post lift. I need to know of it will fit between the rails (31", maybe more, will know later tonight). I can't really get an accurate measurement of the width of the motor with it installed in the car. Looks like it's right around 31".
Anybody know what the width of a 911 motor is without exhaust installed? |

Mike, let me know how this goes. A while back I measured
that it would take around 6" of lift widening to get the engine out with the sheetmetal on. And I haven't found a way to remove the sheetmetal with the engine in (not to mention it would be easier to drop the engine the normal way). Are you going to make a wooden 'stand' and then lift the car? That's what I'll do, probably end of this year. Mark S. '70 914-6 |
