Look to see how the engine is mounted at the front.
Look to see how the oil lines are plumbed. Look to see how the throttle linkage is made up. Exhaust system. Fit and finish. Get the engine number and code. That is a good start on what the engine started as. Since it is now in a 914, the guts of the engine may have nothing to do with the numbers on the case. After 30 years anything is possible. Price is dependent on what exactly you are getting. |
