Now an empty nester with some time to finally work on my car’s.
Looking for a jack plate that works with a 911 3 L and a 914 2 L. I emailed Chris at Tangarine Racing to see if his jack plate works on a 911 engine too. Anybody have any experience with this? I see Pelican makes a nice plate for 911-6. looks well made. I’m not sure if it works well for 914 engine. Looking to pick up an engine yolk, as well as I’d like to get both engines eventually on an engine stand. Hitting the engine off a jack onto a stand… do most people have to heft it up with some friends or is there a way to do it solo? Chain hoist ? If anyone has any of these parts to sell used, I’d be interested. Thanks for your help. Todc |

I have the yellow 6-cyl jack plate pictured above. It works pretty well. Much better than using a regular jack and trying to balance it. Worth the price if you plan on using it a few times.
For the 6-cyl it's pretty easy to drop the motor for valve adjustments etc. |
