mystery motor, possible 914 purchase Options

[rs182]

I am parting out my slant nose 914 but ran across this 72 on CL went to see it. Motor runs but the owner is not sure what size it is. He bought it for a project and never got time. Some body just bolted a carb on to what looks like the stock FI manifold. The injectors are still there (just not hooked up obviously) There is no serial number on the top of the motor and the dip stick is on the front like a type 1.

What do you guys think? He thinks its a 1.8 but the dip stick is throwing me off. Could it be a type 1 with type 4 cooling system?? I am new to 914s and my current 1.8 and some internet scouring is all the info I have on these motors

Car is kinda ruff (crappy color change and a few dents) interior is pretty stripped but only minor rust on the passenger side jack area clean hell hole. He wants 1200 with a tail shift that jumps out of gear

thanks

I bought a new un #'d case maybe 15 yrs ago fron Bieker Eng'g. He might have more even now. I got it for $450 iirc. I had to grind down various casting seams. It was stamped in blue ink with a 923 part #. It had such improvements as unimproved galley plugs that soon popped out. There was something different about the oil pressure safety circuit, but I don't recall now. I sold the complete motor to the GPR guy, who sold it to ?.
