Lads,
Not being fully versed on everything VW, I was curious if the a 2.0 Bus engine and a 2.0 914 engine are the same......Or, will a Bus 2.0 bolt right into a 914. Air cooled of course. Also 1.7 and 1.8 while you are at it. Thanks bunch. Mike Sarcastic remarks welcome, I like the humor |

I'm still not sure if you're looking to buy a running motor to install, or a core engine to build something.
If you're looking for a running motor, anything Type4 will work with some modest changes. The bus/411 flywheel is different, the mounts will have to be swapped with 914 components, etc. Do-able, not terribly difficult either. If you're looking for a core engine for a build project, get a non-bus case. You can convert the dipstick and oil filler, but 1.7 or 1.8 core engines can be found for cheap still and I've found if you can't start your engine build with a 914 2.0 core, then ignore the other engines/cars and find any 914 engine of any size as your starting point. |
