You'd think that it wouldn't have taken me 11 years to look at the engine code. I have a '75 2.0. Just assumed the engine was original to the car.
Finally looked tonight and saw the following:  So I have a bus engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) A 1976-77 2.0 liter Bus, according to the interwebs. Confused because I only see 3 studs on the intakes. If it was a bus engine, shouldn't there be 4 studs?   What little I do know: PO had the engine rebuilt by a well-known local shop. Was rebuilt with Hydro lifters Oil dipstick located at the top. Engine pulls to 5500 rpm (I've read that bus engines aren't capable of this) I replace the flywheel with a 914 flywheel when I replaced the clutch. I thought I read where the busses use a different flywheel? What do I have, and is there any chance it was built to Porsche 2.0 specs? Now all I can think of is finding a proper engine.
