Hello folks in Austin!
I am hopeful some one with more experience than I could help lend a hand or two to help me reinstall my engine and transaxle. I originally hired a mechanic to do the rebuild, but after 2 months, he quit on me. After he completely disassembled the engine into 1000 pieces. Found FAT performance and they are doing the rebuild. Engine should be coming back soon to Austin and I am in need of some knowledge on re-installing the engine. If anyone out there can help, I would be most appreciative. Thanks Doug |

This is one of those things that sounds and appears more daunting than the reality.
Get the 914's ass in the air, get the motor under it...start hooking things up...raise the engine into position. It's honestly about that easy. There will be some do-dads to hook up after it's bolted to the chassis, but it's honestly not all that tough. Like wndsnd said...it's kind of a balancing act. There are many jackstands involved, so make sure you keep them out of the way so you're free to move things around. My first one took about 3hrs. I've only done it 3-4 times, but I'll bet I could do it in 90min. There are guys here that could probably do it in 20min. |
