Hey guys i am going to try and remove the engine from my 914 today any advice? I am kinda scared to be honest. Is there any advice u guys can offer? I dont have a lift i am going to use a 3 ton floor jack and jackstands along with a furniture dolly. I think i am going to have trouble removing the cv joint.

Reading down through the comments, in terms of wiring that's considerably less complicated than hoses. Hoses come off altogether, wire harnesses are typically cut to size and hang right exactly where they need to go when the motor goes back in. Also, generally things are engineered so that if there are several harness connections in a single area, only one plug will fit in the right spot. Unlike a modern car, there's very little on these in the way of electronics so not much to fuss with.
