I have a 1971 914 that I bought with a weak motor(rod knock) and tired tranny(tail shifter). I sourced a 1911 and side shifter box for it. I started to pull the motor (did not get far) and my personal life has gotten in the way. I have decided that discretion is the better part of valor and I will just pay somebody to do the heavy lifting on the motor and tranny swap, but when I called Joe at Mustard Racing, it looks like he is unavailable for 6 months and may not be available at all any more.
Is there anybody else that is not unreasonable in rate and is reliable in the DFW area (prefer the west side since I am in FW)? I don't mind somebody moonlighting and I have my own garage and lift if that is an issue, I just have NO TIME to do it myself. I don't want to sell it in pieces, and I don't want to leave it to rot in the shop. Anybody with an alternative please message me. PS I know it is only a couple of days to do this if I am diligent, but I don't have enough free minutes strung together to make any progress. I would if I could. I am not afraid, just really don't have the time. I have not had an opportunity to work on it in over 6 months. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) thanks! |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Oct 13 2015, 03:22 PM)  Oh, and I forgot to mention... This weekend would be a good time to get your parts. Zim's is hosting the DFW Porsche swap meet on Saturday. They also have discounts on new parts for the event. I will be there with a bunch of I hope to make it out. I need to get a good list of the bushings etc that I should be getting for my new sideshifter and see if they have all of those. I am confident that I can get all of the parts I will need to get the motor in(since I have a running motor coming out), but I fear that I will overlook something on the tranny. Is the weekend before Thanksgiving a good idea or bad idea? Is there a good place to post a regional invitation on the forum? |
