I'm planning on dropping the engine out of my 1974 2.0 liter 914. I've got my car on a BackYard Buddy drive on lift. I have a concern that the clearances between the ramps could interfere with engine removal.
Does anyone know the measurements across the engine? Thanks for the help. |

I ran into this issue with my 4-post lift. Here is what I had to do.

Amphicar770, thank you for the suggestions. I've got 37" clearance between rails so the tin does not clear. So would you suggest removing tranaxle first then drop engine onto lift cart spin cart and then lift car to clear engine? Thanks again for your help. |
