This is my version of the factory tool for lifting the engine/tranny into the engine bay. It goes on your floor jack where the pad normally sits and balances the assembly, allowing one person to easily install their 914-4 engine without assistance.

Price is $99 including shipping.
I accept Paypal at c.foley at tangerineracing.com
or check/MO at:
CFR
101 Loomis St
Manchester, CT 06042


edited to update price/payment info.

Bottom view.
The pin is 1 1/8"dia. I can customize that if needed.
I've been using my prototype of this tool for years and am totally happy with how it works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have done some light work on my race engine with it on the jacking plate. It is a bit wobbly though and requires steadying. Dropping it down so the crossbar rests on a couple blocks of wood is a good approach.

This plate does not work with a -6. The bottom of the engine is different and the CG is further forward. I plan to make them for 6cyl installations soon.

A hole can easily be cut with a hole saw for a tuna can to fit through. I don't know what you can do to lift an engine with a deep sump, remove the sump first? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Having installed a 6 for the third time this year, I agree!!!! If it's the same price, I'll gladly purchase one.

Hi Chris,Would you by any chance have one of those engine jacking plates left.I thought putting one in the trailer for emergencies would be a good idea.

Are they still $75 and do you know what shipping would be to 08844?

Thanks,
Tom B.

Have you given any thought to a six cylinder version?

Ron,
I have a prototype. It needs further development before I can release it as a product and I just haven't found time yet since I moved.

Chris,

How's that development going on the 6 cylinder model? I'm about ready to drop my six in the next week or so, and would really like a more stable way of doing this by myself.

If you need more development time, I'll volunteer to be a test pilot and let you know how it worked. Ship it to me, let me try it out, and I'll ship it back. We can talk in the meantime and I can give you the results.

Let me know. If that doesn't work, I'm going to weld up my own.

Dion
