I'm going to look at another 914 on Sunday. It started as a 74 2.0, but then due to a knock, the engine was replaced with a 1.8, with a carb on top.
What are the right questions to ask, and assuming a "normal" amount of rust for an east coast car, what would it's value be (hard question, I know). I'm thinking that to go from FI to a single carb on this car, they should have changed the cam and heat exchangers - is that correct? and if they didn't, what would be the outcome (loss of power I assume). Any ballpark on the cost of buying a 2.0L with FI to drop in? I'm thinking this would probably be a $4500 car, as long as it looks great inside and out. |

or get a fi system for the 1.8 or get dual carbs though it probably has the fi cam.
the difference between 1.7 1.8 2.0 is not so dramatic - not enough to swap out a good motor for one of slightly greater displacement. jim |

Maybe 600 worth of parts, and 500 labor? Also, if it has a FI cam, will that make a big difference? |
