I’ve done a couple of these and don’t believe you can pull a COMPLETE 356 up out of the engine bay without using a BIG can opener
The Germans must have been laughing their a**s off on the way home at the dumb yanks who couldn’t figure out… you drop the engine
I have an old 356 movie about how they were made. How old?? Single grill old. It shows the assembler lying on his back under the car, while two others position the transaxle on top of him The bottom guy then lifts the transaxle into position with his feet while the other two bolt it in place
I’ll be dropping Linda’s 356 motor this winter for a new clutch, about 30 to 40 minutes even without a lift… The Americans couldn’t figure out you dropped it, ya sure, now thats a good one
