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!! |

Oh its Tube Framed......sorry man,, gonna take a ton of work.. How does your other 914 compare ?? Here’s the 75’. Looks pretty good compared to the 73’ from a rust standpoint. It’s got a few trouble spots specifically under the passenger seat but seems manageable. The 73’ runs great so I may just keep it as is and drive the wheels off of it. Spent some quality time with it making sure everything works. Thoughts on the silver 75’ ? I’m thinking Laguna, Adriatic or Mexico Blue and we’ll put the new 2.0 in it perhaps? If the nays stack up I’ll unload it and keep hunting. Gimme your honest feedback please. Cheers!! |
