Posted by: SirAndy Dec 7 2005, 06:32 PM
ok, we're ON for tomorrow ... 
i'm going to meet with bill at his place around 1:30pm ish to load up some stuff and then we're going to head over to JW to pick up the engine ...
so, if anyone wants to swing by at JW around 2:15/2:30 to help load/unload, that would be great ...
i'll buy dinner and beers!

I'll try to get there around 2:00. Which probably means I'll get there at 2:30.

The 3.6 is on a pallet strapped down. JWE has a forklift. It shouldn't be too much trouble loading....it's the unloading by "hand" that's going to be a bit tougher.

Actually it shouldn't be too bad. It's always easier to lower than to lift. Have a furniture dolly (or two) handy to lower the palette on and you should be good. Or use a solid core door as a ramp like Mueller and I did for the Subaru engine.
And all this advice comes from someone who won't be there to help, so guess what it's worth.

alright, i got a pickup truck (brand new dodge ram), that should do the trick. 
most of the day will be spent sitting in the bay area parking lot they call "Freeway" ... 
i'll be at JW around 2pm ...

I'd like to help but my back hurts and I'm way down here in Orange County and I'd just get in the way anyway. Is the 3.6 going in the red car?

Your car is truly inspirational already - with that thing in it it's going to totally rock!

yes. 901's are cheap!
Bill offered me the WEVO 915 that he had build to be run with that engine, but the 915 was more $$$ than the engine!
too much for my not so deep pockets.

Bill Pickering's new race car is a tail dragger?
Posted by: nine14cats Dec 9 2005, 05:41 PM
Hey Dave,
I didn't see you snapping away there. The oil cooler setup looks bigger than I thought!
Having a forklift sure made it alot easier getting the motor up....

Hi Gwen,
I've gone to the "dark side"...... 
Should be fun dicing with the 914Club crowd on the NorCal tracks!

Sorry to "out" Bill on the board here--I didn't realize the tail-dragging nature of his new racer was still a secret!!
Gwen, I didn't spot the G-Teener there. But I didn't stay long.

Posted by: nine14cats Dec 10 2005, 07:45 PM
Hey Dave,
You didn't out me....we had other threads on me becoming a tail dragging SOB....
Actually, I'm still a full fledged 914Club member...I'm getting ready to hit JLO really hard and get the V8 in and my 914-6 aka...The Beast...is being built by Scott Yeaman as we speak...
The 911 will be for the 2006 season. If The Beast is done before the end of next year, it may make an appearance.

the "when and where" is still a mystery but you're most certainly very welcome to drive her once she's out of the hospital!
