Sorry. Newbee here.
My question: does the 1.8 914 have a magnesium block? I am considering buying a ratty 1.8 914 engine to use the heads and P&C for a VW Type 2 1.7 '72 bus. I need to use the bus block and lower end to fit my '72. No access hatch over the engine compartment. I would like to dispose of the excess 914 block at a New Years Eve bonfire. Thanks. Barry sends |
