Anybody out there utilized a standard engine stand without the $150 engine yoke to mount a 914 and/or a 911 engine? I was going to order the $150 engine holder but a buddy told me somebody he knows was able to mount an engine with a few adjustments to a standard engine stand. Anybody have any photos?
Thanks |

just buy a big V8 stand, toss the L shaped brackets
then buy a bellhousing of a VW bus 091 trans. Thats the dark bottom section of the trans on this page http://www.davesport.com/rally/mycar/mycar.htm Usually two of the bellhousing holes will line up with the flat side of the engine stand plate. Drill two more then bolt the bellhousing directly to the flat plate of the engine stand. Do not use the holes for the engine mount here ;-) Grind a hair off the inside bellhousing if needed to clear the flywheel. The 914 engine will now bolt up using all 4 transmission bolts and you also have a starter mount ready to go to test the engine out of the car. -Rich Hilgersom |
