I am not really a 4cyl guy, so someone correct me if I am wrong. But they are pretty darn different. The Bus 2.0 and 914 2.0 are not the same.

914 2.0 has a windage tray and Porsche only heads for startes.

The cams are different too. A bus engine will die off quickly where the 914 2.0 would rev more freely.

But if you have a dead 1.7 and are picking up a bus 2.0 for a good deal. Heck, toss it in. It'll be a torque monster compared to that 1.7. Just don't expect it to rev like the 1.7 did.

I think you can just bolt or swap over the FI, but the 1.7 injectors and brain probably wouldn't produce the fuel enough for even a bus 2.0.

Anyone else have any thoughts? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
