Found a rebuilt 2.0. Engine code is a GA so if my research proves accurate this is actually a 74’ engine. Confirmed 3 bolt pattern on the intake heads. Stoked!! I’m curious if this will drop right into my 73’ that’s currently a 1.7 and what I might be in for with this? Headers and heat exchangers? Just a note: per the owner that rebuilt the engine it hasn’t been run since the rebuild so needless to say I need to learn more about what all needs to happen prior to dropping this in and firing it up. Considering taking it to Mayo Performance in Dallas to handle the swap but I’m also a fast learner and eager to do it myself.
Thanks!! |

Hey Stevie.. welcome, always nice to get another 914 in the metroplex! Hope we can meet up at some point soon. Let my knee heal and I'm all in for assisting in any way I can with your project. Our cars are gonna have a bit in common... Greens w/2056 & stock fuchs. Btw, just curious about where you sourced the engine? I keep my eye open around here and have seen no such rebuilt engine. Good luck with your project!!

Good luck with your project!! Back home after 8 long hours in the car picking up a freshly rebuilt 2056cc 2.0 and donor car. The donor car was originally a 75’ color code L80E light ivory. It was going to be my parts car of course but there’s something special about this one. I’m gonna need a bigger shop. |

I had two of em until a few months back too. Id bought a real project, had it shipped to Dallas... then a better one popped up locally, and for less money. But nice score there.. so what's the plan now ? |

But nice score there.. so what's the plan now ? Got the 73’ up on crib stands and gave it a good look. The rust around the floor pan is pretty bad and I’m considering picking up some new replacements and welding them in. Discovered a problem though. As you can see there are crossbars that we’re welded in ugh!! Don’t suppose that’s common? While I don’t mind the extra support it appears it’s going to get in the way of the floor pan replacement. Thoughts on this debacle? Front to back: Front welded cross brace: Rear welded cross brace: Now I’ve got some decisions to make. |
