Ok, so i just bought a used engine for my 914 to replace my blown-up old one which was a '75 1.8. The guy I bought the new engine from told me that the engine I was purchasing was a '75 1.8 as well, but I'm not so sure. I know it runs, but now I need to know what kind of engine it is! It is most definitely a VW type 4. As far as I can tell, there are two numbers stamped on the engine. One is directly on top of the crank case and reads W0033863. The other is near the impeller and reads CB092959. What kind of engine is this?!

Awesome, that clears up some of the questions. As for the fact that it has two numbers, well that's still a mystery. The CB number is on the impeller housing, forward of the oil filler and above the right cooling duct. Maybe it was a type 2 originally and then was rebuilt with a 914 case?
