Cool, You'll like it from what you were running before. I did a 2056 in my 72 with 44 webers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I've done so many small projects on the car too, the 1.7 is running pretty good right now. I like to drive my car, and not have it in the garage on jack(ass)stands. I'm going to do the suspension stuff first, then the motor/transmission. That is the plan of attack. I have all the stock style sway bars ready to install too, and all I need is time,a few more parts, help from Colin, (ahh-hemmm) and a few weekends to do the suspension. Bruce Stone has been a great asset and friend.

At this time last year, I knew nothing about 914s. Funny, I saw a kid stop at the gas station while I was gassing up one day and we talked about his car. He wanted $3K for it. A month later, March 2, 2014, I bought this yellow '73 1.7.

I'm geeked on it.

From the factory manual:

Cooling blower impeller bolts: M8; 19.6 NM, 2.0 mkg, 14.5 lb-ft
Bolt for blower impeller hub: M8; 31.4 NM, 3.2 mkg, 23.1 lb-ft

The oil cooler studs are M6, and the cooler is relatively fragile. I wouldn't go over 10 lb-ft for those. Probably more like 8 lb-ft, actually.

The fan shroud retaining studs I recall being M8, so I'd say about 15 lb-ft. The bolts (? screws?) that hold the fan shroud together I think were M6, so about 10 lb-ft for those.

Thanks guys. I found a few of these online too. Putting the engine back together again is a bit of a puzzle.

Did you get the oil cooler support on without taking the tin back off?

Left side tin came back off. Bracket on.

Why doesn't my back tin fit down snugly on the bell housing? Are there two different styles? The two clips that are supposed to "clip" onto it are sitting proud of it now. Weird.

What do people use for a too short thermostat wire? Anybody got one for me?

I'm not running heat, does anybody make block-off tin plates for the heater hose openings?

The rear tin just fit that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... You just have to get it to fit the best you can.

I use some rubber tubing caps if not running heater hoses.
