I bought my '74 from a guy in (Boca Raton) Florida who thought this motor was "all that"....
however, I had planned a 3.2l conversion from the start. I pulled the old lump out just before the cold set in, and I was tired of tripping over it (sitting beside my 914 in the garage). So, today I pulled off the tranny, starter, intake and exhaust...much more room now. The case number is S112 004.101.102A... ...and the serial number is EC010852. The PO said that it was a 1.8 case with 2.0 crank and rods, 96mm jugs and plugs (p/c), 280 High Performance cam (with performance lifters), and 1.8 heads flycut to 96mm. It also is reported to have lightened flywheel. I can't post pics as my work computer does not allow mw to add software....which would enable me to resize pics.... Everything on this car says DISNEY.....in other words its all MICKEY MOUSE'd... 1/2 the bolts for everything in the car are missing...the ones that are there are not tight....they are also all different sizes....Kids!!!! Oh, and it leaked more oil than the Exxon Valdez....kid said it was either a main seal (not) or a galley plug (unconfirmed) Good thing I planned a TOTAL rebuild huh. Anyways If you can confirm the little info I have or have a comment on this forlorn 4 sillywinder lump...feel free to leave some comments! Thanks, Sean |

I don't have much engine serial data but that seems to match something in the VIN range of 10000. However, the engine in my own car is original but way out of sequence. So it is hard to know without a COA or the data written into the owners manual maintenance section. The 1.8 heads should not have required flycutting for 96mm cylinders. Only the 1.7 heads require bigger registers. Flycutting might be used to increase compression or clean up the mating surface.
Rain only lasted a short while thankfully, and dried up nicely. I was worried about it freezing. I'm around most of the weekend and until after New Years. You have my number? |
