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?

QUOTE(bretth @ Feb 9 2019, 06:17 PM)  This is how I supported the rear of the car. After lowering the motor and trans with a floor jack on to a furniture dolly it just made it out. But you may want to remove the FI connectors, mine were hitting when lowering the engine. Well it seems like 12" should be plenty of clearance. I am removing the engine to do a FI overhaul, so the engine will basically be down to a long block when it comes time to drop it! On a side note I am thinking about running two strips of leds down the inside of each I-Beam. One thing I have found out being under a car working, you never have enough light! I will post some pictures when I get the setup done. |
