We have a 1974 914 2.0 in need of an engine. The car has been sitting for 30+ years. It will run, sort of, but leaks oil like a cardboard tanker. The F.I. checks out electrically, but the engine won't accelerate. So, if we have to fool around with it, we should consider the following choices:
1. overhaul the existng engine 2. replace the engine with a rebuild from ? 3. try to resurrect the F.I. 4. just carburate it. Who has experience with overhaulers they'd share? How about "new" engine providers? I gather from some postings here that "Import World" doesn't enjoy lots of support from this group? Who else? We are looking for a stock engine or maybe a mild warming for street use. What say you, O Mighty Tribe? |
