Need your help - Engine identification Options

[ctupton]

I purchased this TypeIV engine to put into my project super beetle. I was told it was a 2.0 Bus engine, but when I looked up the serial number over on some of the type IV websites it said it was a 1.7 914 engine. Can anyone confirm this for me. Also Im wanting to rebuild it, besides the normal gasket kit, What other common parts should I plan on purchasing? I want to use as much of the existing engine as possible, but just want to make it run nice and reliable.

ANY info you can give me on this and best way to tackle it, is grateful, this is my first true project car.
