Fitting motor - 1979 900ss   Message List

Re: [vintageduc] Re: Fitting motor - 1979 900ss

HI Lorin
 
Thought of that! Not really - Geoff from Bevel Heaven kindly suggested either take the left and right engine cases off or - take the wheels off and lower the frame onto the engine. (I think thats how I got it out but it was several years ago!)
Since I already had it all set up with the chain block and slings I thought that there might be a trick to just slipping it in somehow!
 
cheers

OK, with a torch cut the frame in half and re-weld around the motor...

Hey! could work.... Hopefully someone will have a better suggestion.

I have a chain block and a couple of slings and have tried several different ways - have had the bottom bolt at the rear in and tried to swing the front up - no way! various other methods but havent been able to fit it - it fouls on the protrusion at the rear of the crank case . Does anybody know the best method to be used?
