Hi,
My 1972 914 is VIN 4722904683. The engine number in my 914 is EA023811. Could this be the original engine to the car? … Could it be a VW type 4 engine. How do I tell the difference? Thanks in advance for any help/advice |

For the sake of argument, I would argue that a 914/4 Porsche has a PORSCHE engine in it, regardless of its supplier. Its similar to the VW engine in some of the VWs of the same era, but not identical in every respect. It was built, configured and intended for the PORSCHE 914.
