(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. |

If you want a cheap good runner then find a early 1.7l 914 motor (80hp). They pop up on the classifieds all the time from guys installing 2.0l's. Way better motor than a 2.0l bus engine as not mod's to drop it in. plus they are cheap!
Oh, I see you are in Oregon so ask Craig from CAMP 914 if he has any laying around or jump on that FREE 914 engine that was just posted! Geoff (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
