Looking for the 911 engine stand yoke!
Does not need to be Porsche factory but 800 lb rating!

Thank you!

Thats a lot less $$! Thanks,

but I just noticed I have a stand with spline and also that the stand engine mount is angled

Most Engine stands are angled upward a bit.........If you measure the inside diameter of your engine stand yoke and it looks like it will accomodate the 2 3/8 yoke you will be getting an excellent yoke for your application...jump on it !!!!!

I don't see the handle hole in that yoke picture.
Make sure you have some way to connect a handle as the engine will be HEAVY and hard to turn without a handle. I have a Type 4 mounted on the stand, half assembled and it's already difficult to turn around.
I don't think the angle will present any problem in supporting the engine but mounting it on the stand will be more difficult.
I have a HF $50 winch bolted to the sealing and that helps taking the engine off the stand.
