Hello All!
I'm new to this forum as I have recently bought a 1970, 1.7L, 914. The engine needs quite a bit of work and I'm considering to replace it by a 2.0, from a vintage VW. Would you say that such engine would work/fit in the 914? Are they visually alike? Would there be the need of a great adaption in the car? Thank you in advance! |

What vintage VW? A type 1? (Beetle) or a type 2 (Transporter)? I'd say no to a type 1 engine as it has the upright fan setup which does work well and there isn't a way to use the 914 flywheel/clutch set up on a type 1 so the starter won't engage. A type 2 engine will work and you just swap all the 914 tin over to the engine, all the FI stuff and the 914 flywheel will fit too! All 70hp will be a disappointment in the 914 but it will run.

Thank you very much for your reply. I need to check exactly where the engine is coming from, but I think it's a T4... |
