Neil,

There are several ways to do an engine drop and you have to be adaptable to make some changes as you go along. I have a scissor lift like yours and this is not as versatile as a two-post lift. Over the years, I found a procedure to drop/install a 911 motor with ease using tools, gadgets, etc. available to me.

This is your first time and do not rush the job. Take your time and make a list of things needed to be done as a reminder. If you could find a helper to assist you, would be better than doing it solo. I always did it solo and I don’t recommend it for first time DIYer specially if you are using jack stands and floor jack to drop a motor.

You don’t need to drain the fuel tank to remove a 911 engine. Both the delivery and return fuel lines at the engine bay are higher than the fuel tank and will not allow fuel to drain out unless you run the FP. But you need to disconnect the battery cable (+). If you are using a specific guide for your engine drop, go over it and make sure you understand it. In case of doubt, just ask. There are hundreds of guys in this forum that could help and guide you.

This is one of the most memorable project you will remember with regards to your car. Stay safe and focus. Enjoy the experience.
