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!

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!

A running unknown (rebuilt by an amateur) 356 motor would be considered a core motor, or at the very least a spare motor.

First, post a few good pictures of the motor and the serial number of the motor so we can tell you if its a 356 motor or a 912 motor.
There will be a significant price difference on the used market.
912 motors are considered spares.
Real 356 motors with the correct numbers on the case, and the third piece can bring decent money
Older 356 motors can bring real money...even used.
A used 912 motor might pull 2-3k
A used 356 motor might get you 5k...more if you find the guy who owns the car that matches that motor...or a car that is the right year...and he needs a motor.
Older motors, rare motors bring more...

Sell the motor on the 356 registry, NOT the samba.

If you want quick cash...PM me. I might be able to get it off your hands locally FAST.

If you want some more details, post pics.

You could sell the motor for the right price and buy a decent motor to work in your car....and save alot of head scratching.
