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 |

Thanks for the tips
Chris let me know his adapter plate is constructed specifically for the 4 cylinder. I’m thinking I might be able to modify the pelican plate to fit the 4 cylinder as well. The bigger engine more my concern as it’s much more dicey. I’ll go with that plate. Guess there’s no way getting around the hoist. I did read somewhere to be sure the headers are off your engine if you rotate it upside down on the stand. The exhaust plaque can come loose and fall in through the exhaust valves - major bummer! |
