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

Thanks for all the insight.

I'll go with the pelican plate and see if I can adapt it to the 914-4 engine when the time comes.

I do have a quickjack but the range is pretty limited to put the engine on an adjustable table lift. The table takes up a lot of vertical space where the jack drops really close to the ground. That's why I'll go with the combo floor jack and plate.

I've seen what @tygaboy has done with his highly modified engine/ trany lift. Super slick- not sure i have the skills and fortitude to make such a contraption.
