Nope, not really..

The 1.7 case is actually the stronget alloy of all -Thats why I used a 1.7 case for the 3 liter.

The 1.7 case is the weakest in the sump area, but after its beefed up a bit that case is pretty unbeatable...

The only real difference in any of the cases started in 1978 with the 2.0 Bus engine when they swapped to Hydro lifters... In those cases the oil pressure relief was quite different

The changes through the years of the 914 were minimal...

I really don't care what series the case is, they are all the same after some blueprinting.
