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? |

Mike, I did some looking under the car tonight. As
if you haven't been measuring, but ... At least the lift is wider than the distance between the suspension console by about an inch and a half. So to do the drop, it looks like remove muffler, remove heat exchangers, remove tin, heater hoses. Not the worst, but takes some time and reaching for things like the bolts on the front of the tin. To get the tin down past the lift ramps you would need to move the left ramp all the way left that it will go, and then getting the car in just the right place will be tight. I hate to remove everything if it's not necessary, so one alternative that I might look into sometime is to get a couple serious pieces of angle stock to go under the car near the front and rear donuts (with wood I think) and large tow truck straps over the lift, use the lift over the car. It sure is hard work to be lazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://members.rennlist.com/marks/build.gif) Mark S. '70 914-6 |
