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

Most normal engine stands will not be a problem.

You can't really rotate the engine upside down with the heat exchangers or headers on. The HEs will hit the stand when you rotate the motor. But, you can start with the engine upside down.

You really need the engine hoist because even though you might be able to lift the engine, it's an awkward shape. But, if you can have a friend or neighbor help, it goes really pretty well.
