I finished my sideshift conversion on my 1972 1.7 street/AX 914 almost a month ago, and did about 18 AX runs with it this weekend. What an amazing difference! I did more than merely swap crusty transmissions and linkages, but more on that later. I ask so many questions on other threads, this one is pics and stuff I learned along the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
And thank yous to all who contributed, which is a lot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) And here is a SWEET photo I just found on ground-speed.com, who are awesome and I will probably buy a big print of this one!

Here is a pic taken when I was about to remove the engine. CVs in bags, muffler off, 901 off, jack in place, and 2 x 4 support. I only had the one jack, so I used the engine bar on one and and a 2 x 4 on the other end to balance. It worked out great being solo - totally saved my heads when the engine broke free and lurched 3 inches down. The 2x 4 and engine bar rested on their supports before the engine could tilt any further on my small jack...almost tweaked the HEs real bad which would have pulled an exhaust stud and made a hole in my heads (no leaks now - it's all good).
