Thank God I was able to pull out an engine of my newly acquired 71 1.7 megasquirt and I was able to do it for less than 4 hrs. From clearing all electrical lines, fuel lines, cables, linkage and other parts before dropping the engine to a dolly.

I hope I can install it back after fixing the rear suspension console with the help of a good fellow 914world member who is going to do the welding job.

Im in the same boat. Megasquirt is getting hooked up tonight and then praying she starts. I've had two dreams already about getting her out on the road to discover that I never put any oil back in it, so I have to remember that too.
My previous owner did a much neater job with the wires, but seemed to have cut corners in other areas. (Manifold and exhaust gaskets? who needs em?)
Good luck!
