AW11 Engine drop and swap

Post by flying_wedge »

Hey.

I am planning a 4age drop and swap sometime between the 1st of July to the 9th, and my mates workshop I was going to use now cannot do it due to council regulations.

So, does anybody have the experience with AW11's and doing engine drops, and/or have a workshop or garage or backyard with an engine crane and tools that they could allow use of? Or does anybody know of any garages with "good" pricing ( :P ) for engine swaps that have worked on AW's before?

Payment can be discussed, and/or free booze of your choice on the day . . . 8)

Also, if anybody wants to lend a hand at all on the day, that would be appreciated. Free booze for you too :lol:

Any help at all appreciated, as my current crankshaft is not far from spitting the dummy . . .

PM or reply

Cheers
-Mark

You don't need an engine crane, just need a few high lifting car jacks, you lower the engine & gearbox down together, and jack the car up and off it.

Make sure you have the front wheels with a paver or two under them, or the nose will eat the dirt as the rear rises.
