has anyone manged to remove the motor in an elan through the bottom of the chassis ? with removal of the head and carbs this appears to be a workable solution to hanging a 300 pound lump at 90 degrees to the earth 5 feet off the ground . ed law
Dont know if it can be done but assuming you cut of or modify the lower chassis brace on the little Elan or you are working on a +2 with the removable brace, I would think by the time you have moved the engine forward to clear the g/box the engine would not go down because of the vacuum chamber but I could be wrong! :huh:
Brian.
you can do it on a spyder space frame :blink: don’t know about anything else <_<
yes the bottom strut on my chassis is removeable
ed if it gets stuck on the way out just jump up and down on it its sure to drop out then
should i wear cloggs ?
no just big boots will do oh yes it would be wise to wear a helmet just incase when jumping you bang your head on the garage roof :huh: :blink:
you have seen me work
