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

give your neighbor a beer to help you lift the motor once on the ground.
3 pairs of hands even better than 2

hard to store a hoist for how little you will use it on an air cooler car.
they are really made to pull engines out of the top on water cooled cars
something that is worth borrowing when needed.. .but not worth the storage space of owning. (compared to all of the other tools you do need to own for a teener)
