Been trying to swap out the engine on my '73 super for quite a while ago. Despite every imaginable problem getting my engine and other replacement parts,I'm ready to go. Now the car is in my garage with the back end three feet inthe air. I've disconnected every thing I can think of. I'm using the bible bysaint Muir, "How to rebuild your aircooled VW engine", and I have the haynesbook, too.I've disconneccted:Lower 17mm Bellhousing nutsUpper 17mm bellhousing nutsThrottle cableHeater control cablesAll electrical wires leading to the coil and carbWhat else could possibly be holding this engine in place?
