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! |

ok...
The sold car...if that motor is the correct serial numbered motor for the car that your grandfather sold...that person will pay THE MOST for the motor. No offense to your grandfather, but if he is not well known in the 356 world...the motor wont be trusted...though I am sure he did a great job..its just the nature of the group. Most of the real buyers are 60 plus years old...so dont be surprised if they know your grandfather and the car... These motors did go into mid engined cars, so the exhaust could be done as you say. I bolted one up to a 914 tranny (used a 912 flywheel) all of that worked fine. You will need a 12VDC generator and stand...I think that would be the most expensive piece. The exhaust is just tubes...it can be done. I would share more data about the motor...then sell it. You can get a decent bolt in motor for your car for a few thousand.... Rich |

Rich How do you find out who owns the car that this engine came out of? And where is that "356 registry" that was mentioned earlier? I would really like to find the person who owns that car now and try and return this engine to its rightful place! How did you make the tin fit in the engine bay without allowing air to flow up past it? I was just looking around on craigslist for some miscellaneous parts and found a 12V generator for 125 bucks (may need a rebuild but I know a place that will do it for less than 100 bucks) so depending on how much a 912 flywheel is maybe this won't be all that expensive to mock up? Does the 912 use the same clutch disc and pressure plate as a 356 or a 914 or is it completely different? Please let me know. Thanks -Chris |
