I need to decide what I'm doing engine wise with my 75' 2.0 resto. Cost is becoming an issue...without considering the engine my estimate so far is about $16k. That said I'm not going to do something just b/c it's cheap but I really don't want to go too much higher...
I have the 62k mile 2.0 sitting on the garage floor...it has 40 IDF Webers but has the stock cam...I don't think the case has ever been apart. I also have a 73' 2.0 that I got at a swap meet about 15 years ago. Should I just clean up the low mile original engine and put it back in? Should I start from scratch and build the 73? What caused the 75' to only have 88 HP vs. the 73's 95? The compression is the same. Can I do something to the 75 to get it back the lost HP? If I put the 75' back in should I put in a cam to work with the Webers? What the heck are these things sticking out of the heads...they were not on any of the 5 other 914's I've had????

I don't think the injectors are smaller.
I think most or all of the power difference is due to the exhaust. Look at the 75-76 exhaust some time, it's really quite bad. --DD |
