I'm pulling the /6 motor and trans Saturday in preparation for body/rust repair to the right quarter/suspension console/longitudinal. I'd like to do it with the car on my 4-post lift. I need to know of it will fit between the rails (31", maybe more, will know later tonight). I can't really get an accurate measurement of the width of the motor with it installed in the car. Looks like it's right around 31".
Anybody know what the width of a 911 motor is without exhaust installed? |

QUOTE You can actually just do it with a floor jack and some jackstands (at least with my motor mount. Yeah, BTDT (914/4). I'd much rather do it on with the car on my lift with a floor tranny jack and 2 or three guys standing underneath the car. QUOTE Mike, let me know how this goes. A while back I measured that it would take around 6" of lift widening to get the engine out with the sheetmetal on Will do Mark. Shit. I wasn't even thinking about the engine tin. I might end up on my back after all. |
