As long as I'm planning on puliing the motor YET AGAIN. I started thinking of easier ways to get the car high enough for an engine pull in a cramped garage. Has anyone figured out how to use a large engine hoist to raise the rear (or front) of a 914?

Here is another option for the engine removal. I made a special hanger for the engine. The balance point is at the connection of the transmission and the engine. This point is below the trunk so hanging directly from it is not possible. My hanger hooks around the trunk so I can drop the motor hanging from a hoist. It really worked well.
