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!

If you just need a temporary engine....I've got a bus 1.7 you could use till you get yours built. Just make the hour drive and pick it up.
