Engine removal- jack plate and engine yoke questions Options

[roundtwo]

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

To get the engine on the stand by yourself:

Bolt the engine yoke on the engine.

Use an engine hoist (soft straps work well) to lift the engine up to the engine stand.

Also, depending on your engine stand, you might consider modifying it so you can hold the engine at any angle. Similar to the modified stand in the photo, weld a large nut on the stand and use a matching sized bolt with a rod welded on the top of the bolt for a handle .
