Ok so i just picked up my first Porsche 914. It is a 1974 with I think an original 1.8L engine. It is the light blue color.
So I picked up a project with a ton of parts and 2 engines and transmissions. One of the engines is the 1.8L with a dual carb set up, the other engine is the 2.0 with the fuel injection set up. I need to run the VIN and see what was stock. But assuming the 1.8L was stock, is it worth it to put the 2.0 in the car? Also the paint is a mix, from the factory it was light blue, however someone painted red over it. I am thinking I am going to go with the red, but just seeing if it matters much. Anyway, any and all help is greatly appreciated! |
