ok, figured I would come here to ask this question...I would like to compile a list of pros/cons of putting a '76 2.0 engine in a (mostly original) '74 1.8...
besides more power, what am I gaining? I am torn between the increase in power, vs keeping the originality of the car (not that it will ever a concours competitor) If I ever had to sell it, would it be worth more with the original 1.8, or the 2.0? -JON (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

so, in the end, a 914 1.8, with the original 1.8 would be worth more, then the same car with a later 2.0 in it?
my dad insists that the 2.0's are the most valuable of the /4's, but I dont think its so in the case of putting a later 2.0 in an earlier car... the car is very nice, not modified (except the steering wheel) and I would love to keep it as such... -JON (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) thanks all |
