I have jumped back into my 914 revival project. I am looking at another engine/trans removal and wanted to get an opinion about a "proposed" project. I have enough room in my garage to to install a couple "I-beams" to roll the car up on to remove the engine. According to my measurements....20" is the basic height of the engine/transmission. So if I have two 18" tall I-beams I should have roughly 24" of clearance under the car to slide the whole mess out....right? Any thoughts or feedback on the I-beam setup?

Ah, my jackstands are 16.5" and I usually boost them 8" on wood blocking. Max height would be 24.5" and I know I don't extend the jackstands all the way so somewhere between 20" and 22" would be about what I've been using.

I have some ramps that I put under the rear wheels and a wheel chock for the front wheels. Ebrake on. This setup raises the rear high enough but I feel more comfortable going under the car than with jack stands. I can push and pull on the car and it's rock solid. Tall jackstands on wood blocks scare me. But I'd rather do it at the shop on a lift. |
