Did 914-6 engines have an engine lift bracket (aka hook or ring)? I have seen a bracket listed for some 911 engines, but perhaps that was only for later model years. I'm not finding a listing in the factory parts catalog. I realize it might not help much getting the engine in / out of the car, but it sure would be handy for getting it off the engine stand.

Strange comment , I use rated chain and shackles ,chain isn't rapped around the motor ,spreader has even hanging points down to chains central to the eyelet and to lower point on mount front of the engine and simple to level by adjusting chain ,isn't that simple (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ?.
Your method involves more work because you have to remove heat exchangers ,engine tins ,etc so you don't bend then inwards when the weight is that not less simple (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) .
Anyway what would I know as just an engineer of 32yrs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) .
Have a nice day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) .
