taking engine out of 964 turbo is a fair bit of work as the engine/gearbox both come out together from the bottom. It is done with large trolley jack and special plate to rest engine onto. That said all fuel lines and most of the wiring is at the top, and is of plug in type connectors. Main enine oil pipes can sieze and may need heat to remove without damage. See what you can locate in the way of jacks etc and if you are still up for it I will give a bit more detailed instrutions.
