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 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. Mark, FYI I had the motor on one of the lift rails until I got it on the engine stand. Once that was accomplished I lifted the lift up above the motor/stand and got a good look at the motor when it was directly between the rails. With the tin off, it clears by 1/2" total. Now that I have the experience of pulling the motor out and removing the tin, I realize that the motor can be re-installed without the tin whit the car on the lift. It shouldn't be very difficult to re-install the tin once the motor has been lifted above the rails and before raising it all the way into the engine bay. The motor and bay will be much cleaner than also. |
