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? |

QUOTE It sure is hard work to be lazy Mark S. Heh. I considered using the cherry picker even. I waited too long to try and get a standing tranny jack. I think I'll drain the tank and the sump, pull the carbs, linkage, wiring, fuel lines, MSD, battery, HE's/exhaust, shifter rod and driveshafts with the car on the lift. Then I'll bite the bullet and roll it on over to the concrete pad on the side of the house and get the jacks out from there. Tranny has to come off the motor so I can get it on the engine stand and get it sealed and cleaned up. The carbs need to be re-bushed. The HE's need some straightening that can only be done off the car. Tranny needs to be sealed, and I may even convert it to a SS while I'm at it. This will end up being just short of a resto by the time it's done. |
