I just got offered a 2.0 engine from a 1976 912E. The engine is said to have 40k miles on it. It has not run for a long time but is not frozen. Dual weber carbs all the tins and boxes of random stuff Dizzy's, coils, some pistons/cylinders etc... Is the 912 engine a good upgrade from my 1.7? The engine # is correct for the 912E. The gentleman also has an engine mount cross bar that he says will work in my 73. What the engine worth? My 1.7 (stock injection) runs well, but I may consider the upgrade.

It's a 2.0 914 engine with different sheet metal, different exhaust, and L-jet EFI. And I think a smog pump as well.
The FI sounds like it's gone. The engine tin should be replaced with proper 914 2.0 tin; a 912->Type IV conversion would love to use the 912E tin. Ditto the exhaust. So what you have is a basic carbureted 2.0 motor. Is it worth using? Sure, why not? Is it better to keep what you have? Very possibly--but it depends what you want to do. --DD |
