Check the member vendor section and the two mentioned above. There are also a lot of specialized vendors that specialize areas such as rubber parts (914 rubber) and braking parts (PMB Performance) ect. Most can be found in the member vendor section. No dumb questions, only dumb people. Good luck on the purchase.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Check the members vendor section. We have several good member vendors. You will want to replace the plastic fuel lines in the tunnel ASAP. Several cars have been lost to fuel fires from rotted rubber hoses and brittle old plastic fuel lines.
Rebuild the brakes also. Master cylinder, rubber hoses and caliper kits. |

http://www.pelicanparts.com has a lot of 914 parts, and quite a bit of technical information to boot. Disclaimer: I am affiliated with them. Glenn in the Sales department is a very knowledgeable 914 guy, and nice as well.
GPR Parts are also good guys. Markb and hwgunner here are associated with them. Auto Atlanta is another source that lots of 914 folks love to hate. Just mentioning them is often a good way to start an argument on any 914 BBS. They do have a whole lot of parts, but there are more than a few complaints about specific transactions. There are many more specialists (e.g. 914rubber, Eric at PMB, 914 Appearance and Performance, etc.) that are also members here. There are three good Porsche boneyards in my area, EASY (European Auto Salvage Yard), Partsheaven, and High Performance House. The latter is a 914 specialist, and has more used 914 parts than you can imagine. --DD |

Plus the gas tank is probably rusted from the inside.
And you definitely want to replace all the rubber brake lines even if they look OK from the outside. They swell shut on the inside. Where was it stored and does it smell like ammonia on a hot day inside? These cars are great at attracting rats & mice. They get in if the rear heaters are not connected properly. Stu |

it was in a garage for most of it life there is no rust that I have seen on it yet and i have looked under it. I did not see any signs of mice in it no nest and wiring look ok. i didnt really smell any thing but it has not been real warm yet quit cooled here right now.
the only thing that seems odd to me is there is a little rust around the top of the carb it looks like maybe some water got in the carb at some time |

All 1.7/1.8/2.0 use the same Engine Block. The 1.7/1.8 use the same Head they have 4 Studs. The 2.0 Head has 3 studs. They all use Different Piston & Cylinder Sets.
A killer on these Engines are the Heads. Contact HAM at HAM or through here by PMing him. He is your Head Man and can walk you through what your head needs. |

There is only one source for aftermarket heads that I know of: AMC. They are new castings, which is nice because they haven't been heat-cycled a zillion times. The hardware they use (valves, springs, etc.) is very much on the inexpensive side of the price/quality tradeoff. You can find them with better parts on them, if you look.
Others may offer them as built, with the cheap valves and such. Len at HAM, for one, is also known for taking the basic head, doing a lot of cutting and welding, and making just about any 914/Type IV cylinder head you want. --DD |

HAM also makes new heads that are available for purchase through the Type IV Store.

It's on the other side of the country, but Jamie has a motor that would be a great one to get the car running. You could then build the other motor at your leasure. Unless you have shrine planned in your garage (like quite a few of us).
