(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Well I've started another project. It's a 1975 1.8 that had an engine fire. It got so hot that the cooling shroud actually melted. Top end F/I is baked, and EEC appears to be in good condition, but I'm thinking baked also. My plan was to dissasemble and take to a machine shop to rebuild. All sheet metal is good, I'm sand blasting and shooting with etch primer now to repaint.
My question is this; will a 2.0 bus motor bolt in in place of the 1.8? I'm thinking I may need to do some work on the exhaust side, but other than that what should I expect? Any thoughts? P.S. I plan to go to carbs. |

ive done bus to 914 swaps.bus motor has to pack around that big body,so it has alot of low end.zero top end
the only time its worth it,(putting a bus motor in )is when its youre only transpo and you need it running like yesterday.or you just want to drive it untill you porsche motor is done.put the porsche motor back in it. ;)thats what i did i drove mine around for two years with a 1.8 bus motor in it.it got me to work and it was ok to drive.but when i got my porsche motor put back in it.what a diffrence. james |
