You've inspired me. I am 62, not retired (I do not have permission from my wife yet). I have all the requisite tools, less taller jack stands but I can make something tall and stable enough. My current motor has 171+k miles on it, so it probably is tired. I don't want to let go of this car, so I might give it a whirl. There is more than likely enough folks here that can bail me out via this forum if I find my self in trouble. I became one with my 912 the first time I did a complete rebuild on its motor, so why not have the same experience with this one. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going for it. BTW where did you source your engine from?
