That's the Spirit. BTW, it's not abnormal to have a 914 on jack stands. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yup that's for sure. I am actually considering building an engine stand so I can run my engine to do db testing on mufflers because my car won't be ready..

The older you get, the longer they stay on jackstands.

One doesn't need jack stands or a lift to still have a disabled car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I have my welding guy coming to do the motor mounts, and some small repairs on the firewall behind the driver's seat. Water got down in behind the jute pad in the engine compartment and it rusted through in a few places. Also, a new battery tray and stand. We'll get to the front trunk soon, too, to do the oil cooler install. Little by little. I have beautiful Webers on the way also. Did I mention that this shit is expensive? (Thanks for not warning me)

Anybody have a spare set of turbo lower valve covers?

10 hrs ?????- only in our dreams


it takes almost that long to get the -6 engine out, accessories removed, & long block onto a stand

flat rate to disassemble & reassemble -6 with a case separation is at least 40 hrs - not counting cleanup & parts acquisition, nor machine work that WILL be required

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...labor-cost.html

as i recall it's about 35 hrs for a -4

But you can swap the main bearings in about 10 hours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm happy that this set of carbs came along because I was thinking PMOs, and that would have been $4500.

Today was a momentous day. The set of Weber Carbs arrived and I'm very pleased. Welded in the motor mount and fixed the battery tray. A few more things to repair and weld tomorrow. Engine tin is here, too. Wow, I may make it to WCR yet.

They go here, right?

Looking sweet Lawrence! Better keep that garage door closed.
I might do a drive by and grab that beast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Way to go, Lawrence! I remember the feeling of "welding day," "carburetor day," and others like them. Mileposts on your way to "key day." And when it starts up with six cylinders for the first time, your 914 will be forever changed...into something more exotic, more sophisticated. Maybe a bit less "toss-able"...but oh my, the elastic powerband and the noises. Did I mention the noises? Just you wait.

Enjoy the ride!

I added (welded in) a pair of console-to-firewall support bars today compliments of Elyut.

This thing just might make it to a 914 event this calendar year?

A little "while you're in there" repair on the firewall. Hard to get perspective, but this is behind the driver's seat. Water got behind the sound pad and rusted a couple holes. It's just tacked/started, we'll finish it tomorrow. We ran out of light.

Went by Larmo's place to pick up a few parts and to take a look at my engine stand with his motor on it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) and met his welder guy / first rate/ the whole way. Methodical and filing the profile on his wire prior to welding. First rate.

I get to dive into the engine compartment now that the rear welding is done, for a roto-rooter sesh, clean-up, prime and paint.

How fun.

Anyone want to chime in with tips on working in the engine compartment? I have a wire wheel head on the end of a cordless drill.

This seems like it is going to take forever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
