I have looked to see if this has been posted before but could not find a thread.
What is the best way to remove the engine and gearbox, is there a cradle like the one for the 4 cylinder. Should I remove the heat exchangers first or can I use them for support. |

I use 3 low profile jacks. Works for both 911 and 914. One goes at the balance point at engine/transmission and the other two to balance fan end of the engine using the headers/heat exchangers. This allows me to work the height front to back independently. I have started installing the engine without all the engine tins as the side metal is really tight between the control arm bolts. Mangled some tins really good first time I tried to install 6cyl in 914.
