Now that racing season is over for me for the year, it's time to get back to the 914. And today was finally time to reinstall the engine!

Some friends came over to help. First step was to get the engine off the stand and bolt the trans and starter back onto it.

We also got the car set up to receive:

Then, we slid the powertrain into place. This was a multi-jack operation, since I don't have a lift.

It'll take a little while before the car's actually ready to drive. A whole bunch of things still need to be connected (cables, electrical, fuel, shifting, exhaust, axles, fluids, etc.). Plus, the last DE of the year is next weekend, so more time away from the car. But, I'm still hoping to drive it before it gets too cold out.
