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 came here with questions knowing people here would be more than helpful in answering them! Maybe it IS a waste of time in some peoples' opinion, but I am a fan of working with difficult projects and making them work! I posted only asking for a few questions answered, not to have my questions put down just because of lack of interest from others. I don't want a bad reputation here; there are way too many good people and helpful members here that I would hate to be looked down upon by you guys! I appreciate all the helpful answers everyone has given me so far and I only hope the rest will be just the same! Thanks -Chris Don't be discouraged. I think everyone here has your best interests in mind. They want you to come out ahead fiscally and mechanically. You want a fun project? Build a Type IV 1911 motor. Hands down faster than any stock 616 (356/912) motor I've owned. |

I was planning on building my 1.8 into a 2056 after I found a replacement motor to put in until I could finish the rebuild. I already have a set of 96mm p&c's waiting to go in, I just need some more parts before I can actually take the engine out and rebuild it. Thanks -Chris |
