My current 1.8 Type IV in my 914 is in need of a rebuild and I want to get it out of the car fast. I just received a freshly rebuilt 2.0L from a 356SC (Type I ??)for free this weekend and I am planning on putting it into my 914 as a temporary fix until I can fully rebuild my 1.8. I'm posting here with a few questions:
1. Do I have to use the 356 flywheel and clutch assembly or is there a way to run the flywheel and clutch assembly from the 914? The flywheel looks like it is held on by a single center nut on the 356 engine so I assume Type IV flywheels will not bolt up to this engine? 2. Is there a difference between a flywheel for a 6V system vs. a 12V system? Are there more or less teeth on the ring gear for a 6V system compared to a 12V? I only question this because maybe there are more teeth on a 6V system to be able to spin the engine faster? And finally, is there anything else I should know that has to be done to make this engine work? Like I said, this is only a temporary fix until I can fully rebuild my 1.8L Type IV so I would just like some help on finding out what I need to know to make this engine work. Thanks! -Chris ---- Also, I was told that the 901 will bolt up to a 356 engine so I am hoping that means there is a way to make this all work! |

I would think you could put the 356SC motor on the Samba for sale, and take the money & buy another engine for the 914. I think there are more problems getting that motor in the 914 than it's worth, and those 356 guys love finding those motors.

If it does turn out to be too much trouble I might end up doing that, but I would like to find out everything involved first before deciding on whether or not I want to do that. I think it would be pretty fun to try and make it work, but we'll see. Thanks -Chris |
