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! |

My 1971 had a bus 2.0 in it. Two things that I noticed: The first is the oil filler on the fan end of the case. A block off plate and the bolts clear an early engine bar, but are too close for a late engine bar and look like they will hit. The other thing is the bus engine has hydraulic lifters. Good for not having valve adjustments, but bad for high RPM's.
Also, the bus engine tends to be worked harder, and might be more worn out. My case was a GC code. '76-'77 bus engine. |
