Greetings to all.
One of the guys at Rennlist pointed me in your direction & I'm hoping to get some advice... It's soon going to be time to rebuild my engine and I'm looking for a reliable supplier for a long block. As the title above says, I have a '76 2.0 liter. I was thinking of ordering from GEX but having recently done some research, that isn't sounding like a very good idea. Any suggestions, advice, comments? Thanks much. |

Queenie,
I just went back and reread all of the posts in this thread and I have a question and perhaps a suggestion. When will the car need to be smogged again? If that is a little ways off, here is what I might suggest. Find a good running engine. You could probably pick up a 1.7 or 1.8 relatively inexpensively. Have your ex-husband pull out your 2.0, and install the replacement engine. Then, have ex-hubby rebuild the 2.0. He could take his time until you get close to the date that the car needs to be smogged again. When smog time comes, have him swap out the engines then get the car smogged. You can then sell the replacment engine and you haven't been without your 914 for any lengthy period. Me? I'm an idea guy!
