I'm off to Houston tomorrow. Please hold my birthday presents til I get back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I'll return Sunday night. I'm thinking about doing an engine drop the next weekend. I think that's Memorial weekend.

Is anyone in the area interested in helping? I'm flexible with the day if one day suits folks better than the other.

lemme know.

From your topic title I thought you were refering to the shortage of entries at Tony's Memorial Day party! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Tony may have to take some advice from Bubba Mike Helton on "Field Fillers". Oh sorry, NASCRAP doesn't do that, do they?

I have a bench mount engine stand. I've never used it. Got it with the first 914 that I bought. You can use it if it will work for you.

I also have a CV bolt tool.

Kinda odd - the last engine drop that I did, I was surprised that the cv bolts were regular allen head bolts not the "star" type. They were the only ones that I ever had trouble removing. Ended up cutting one of them off with a dremmel tool.

Why are you dropping the engine?

While running at 6k rpm I missed the 4th gear upshift and did a 2nd gear downshift.
It made for a dramatic end to a fun weekend at the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I have a graduation party to go to for a family friend on Saturday in Avon from 2 to 5. So I could help out in the morning or later in the afternoon (I'm not planning on staying the full time). Or I'm open Sunday afternoon.

Damn Sean, if I had lots of time and/or money, I'd come help. I love pulling motors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Doug, do you need an adapter for your engine stand? I thought the Harbor Freight needed an adapter.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I need to check on timing. I've got a family gathering on the east side of Indy on Saturday.

My engine stand is really an "engine mount" that attaches to a workbench. I can get a pic later.

I've used the 4 wheel carts a few times. They work well.

I need to be near Post and Brookville around 3:30 Saturday. If Saturday is the day, I can help in the morning/early afternooon.

With the right tools and a bit of luck a motor drop should not take too long. I've dropped one out by myself in about 2 hours. I did have the car over a pit to get everything on the bottom - this was a huge help!

Post & Brookville is 10 - 15 minutes away.

What time should we start so you can be presentable at your necessary time?
I've never done this before, so this is gonna be greek to me.

I have helped put a -6 in, but that was easy, we just lowered the car on a lift around the motor and did the 4 bolts and voila.
