914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Carb cc size for 1.7 and 2.0
Posted by: 72black914 Oct 9 2015, 05:58 PM
I have a 1.7 with empi carbs. I think they're 34cc. I have an opportunity to buy a 2.0 from a VW bus. Will my carbs bolt on the 2.0? Are the 34cc too small and not deliver enough fuel for the 2.0?
I'm a newbie so not up to speed with all abbreviations and slang Thanks
He also wants $500 for the 2.0 so is that reasonable? It spins freely but it is a long block only

cant answer the carb question, but what engine code is the 2 ltr block, you may find the 1.7 gives you more power.

It's mm, not cc.
Real old webers came in 36mm size, but they are likely 40mm.
VW bus 2.0 and 1.7 914 are both ballpark 80hp, I don't know the exact numbers offhand. A bus engine will work, but it's lower compression and considered a downgrade for a 914.

Yep, the PO of my car went this route and I am taking it out to put a correct 1.7 back into it.
