I'm considering a "Cali" style conversion for my bug using my 2.0 bus engine that I rebuilt several years ago. This would be a nice option for me because I invested bunches of money in the parts for the engine and its just sitting there on a shelf. I have some 1.7 (or 1.8???) tin on a parts car.

Whats the difference between 2.0 head tin and 1.7/1.8 head tin?

Is there a VW / Porsche difference as well?

Also, what about 914 tin on VW motor, and vice versa? I think the VW oil fill "stand" is taller correct? Does the oil fill "stand" get in the way of porsche tin?

I'm hoping I can make the the 1.7 or 1.8 tin work since I'm going to be cutting them up anyway. Maybe I can drill new holes for the spark wires, and make the 1.7 tin work on my 2.0. I dont think my 2.0 has the "porsche" 2.0 heads so would the spark plug holes be in the same location as the 1.7 & 1.8 tin?
