Hey all!!!
I appreciate everyone's input on these forums.... I wish the Internet was around the last time I owned a 914. Anyways, after I get some road testing done on my recent purchase I am going to pull the engine in order to begin the 'hell hole' rust work. The question is, how high should I get the car in the air to slide the motor out the ass end??? I would assume that having the car dropped somewhat towards the front would be helpful in providing more clearance at the back. Again, appreciate all the help!!! |

front wheels on the ground, jackstands under the rear body pads and I put a bunch of block under the rear of the tunnel just in case. . How high depend on how low your jack goes. . If you pull the intake runners and throttle body you can gain a bunch of head room. . I'm guessing you need 20-24 inches at the rear, but again, if you pull the rear valance you wont need to go as high. .
