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!!! |
