Hi, I am looking at purchasing a rust free 914 2.0. I have a 1961 356b and it needs some good company in the garage.
The car is in the next state and I checked it over very well last week. It looks real good, but I called the guy (owned the car for over 20 years) and he can't find the engine number just in front of the Oil Filler stamped in the case. The car has has had the engine rebuilt. His mechanic put webbers on many years ago when the FI became problematic. Why wouldn't there be an engine number on the case? Factory repplacement case? I have the vin. Is there a db that will indicate this number is in a "range" 2.0 liters manufactured back in the day? Would Signal Orange have come from the factory with a Brown interior? Thanks, Brian |

I have the database, but very rarely will there be a range of VIN"S that are known to be 2.0's. There are several hints that the engine was originally a 2.0: the tire rating decal on the evap tank over the gas tank shows HR tires and the emissions decal over the relay board in the engine compartment show a 120 cubic inch engine.
If the engine itself does not have the 3 studs on the head holding the intake runners, then it is not a 914 2.0 engine. |
