Keep us posted on your progress!
Its easier to pull the motor than you're thinking. I've helped my buddy pull a few subie engines (he had a thing for the foresters), and I can say its easier than those engines. Once you get past the exhaust and the C.V. axles the engine just drops strait down without any fuss.



Unfortunately I think this Porsche project has hit a "stall". Kennedy doesn't make an adaptor for a latter model 4.3 with an aluminum oil pan like the one I plan on using. There is some conflict with the starter motor.

If they make an adaptor for an early model 4.3 I guess I can get an older 4.3 and work with that, but the latter one works SOO well. I mean to say all the accessories are in the right spots, the supercharger fits PERFECT on the LIM of the late model engine, and coolant line placement; just everything is right on... except the adaptor plate.
