I had too many 1.7L parts to justify "throwing them away" or parting out so I decided to go the other way and do a complete rebuild and assembly of a spare "W" series block. This was my second rebuild 1.7L and infinitely more fun than the first which is in my '70. It will be plug and play and play ready for a nice deserving owner that doesn't want to do all the work. Besides the core part of the rebuild, I tackled some of the common issues that we encounter AFTER a rebuild that leaves us with more problems that require trouble shooting rather than enjoying our new motors. Some amenities include reconditioned fuel injectors by RC Fuel Injection, rebuilt MPS by yours truly, electric fuel pump, completely re-worked, reconditioned engine harness and matching ECU. Will post complete rebuild spex in classified when I'm done next month.

QUOTE(Literati914 @ May 26 2019, 08:42 PM)  That is a beautiful car. It runs the same or similar Bosch D-jet set up as the 914's doesn't it ? I am surprised I don't see these mentioned in our group. It seems to be a forgotten little gem just like our 914's. Let me know if you know of someone wanting to sell a project one. I always loved that car since Roger Moore drove it in "The Saint ". |

I always loved that car since Roger Moore drove it in "The Saint ". Thanks - Yep, it's the same D-jet system.. I haven't cross referenced the numbers yet (my cars are in off site storage atm), but Id bet the d-jet pieces interchange in some instances. Mines got the hi compression B20E engine. These are indeed forgotten gems, and relatively affordable from a project perspective - good parts availablity too. Getting hard to come by now..I'll keep my eye peeled for ya tho. |
