My buddy came over and we got the engine off the pallet and onto my rolling engine stand. He also helped me get the transmission lined up. I'll continue prepping the engine and doing some final work on fuel lines before stuffing it back in. The 914 is already back on the hillbilly lift.











Very nice, you must be pleased,always great to see a well presented engine like that and you have the paperwork to back up the performance.
Wonder if the "brothers" engine would have lasted long on the dyno
Did you deside to go away from the original dizzy? looks like a 009 on there now as I can't see any vacuum lines? .
Bet you can't wait to test it
