Thanks all !!
Thanks Tom.
Thanks Scott ... I will use your method .... I will be doing this by my self
the last time i put a 911 motor in was probably 30 years ago.
I did it by my self with a floor jack and wrestled it in.
i dont think i could win that wrestling match today....

When I worked as a tech years ago I supported the rear of the car with jack stands under the left and right torsion bar ends. Wheels stayed on. Engine and transmission are installed (and removed) as a unit. Going slowly and carefully was how I was taught. When I was doing this regularly, I could remove the engine/trans unit easily within an hour.
I install the carbs after the motor is in place. I’ve seen way too many Weber’s with an air correction screw boss broken off.
For those without a lift, and using the floor jack method. Put a open paperback book inside the metal jack cup. It helps stabilize the engine to jack connection and prevents damage to the case. I also remove the muffler prior, so the jack handle does not dent the bottom. Rob
The paperback book seems like a great idea .
