I do not remeber it being this tenuous when removing? The motor is on a jackstand with a 2x8 sandwiched inbetween. It looks too unstable to attempt a one man installation, even though I was able to remove it by myself. I have two jacks, so I was thinking of lowering the car instead of raising the motor - would this be safer? Any ideas? Looked up one of those 911 motor jack adapters (see pic) Not sure it would fit the 914 motor and at that price I'll stick with the 2x8's.
