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.

An average gutless motor that made less power than the introduction 1.7 914 motor in the 914 from memory,I would buy it and store away @ that price for someone with one of those limited production cars to buy.
These cars are slowly climbing in value a bit like their top speed, as mentioned the cam is a real issue with carbs,good luck. |
