Hello everybody, I'm the recent new owner of a '72 Porsche 914. I've seen at "engine numbers" section of this web page that there are no 2000c.c. motors in1972 for the 914, but at "productions number" section, I've seen that in 1972 were produced 4817 models with 2000c.c. motors. Could anyone explain me this. Thank you and sorry for my poor English, I'm from Spain, Mallorca.

Welcome! Mallorca, hey I am trying to go there next summer! I hear its beautiful and whoops, sorry to hijack thread.

You have a late 72 with a 2.0l? Could have happened as the factory had terrible records keeping. We all know there also aren't any 76 1.8 cars, they never made a Green/white LE etc.

I still don't know the real c.c. of my 914, the one who sells me told me that it was a 2000 c.c. 914, but I thought that in 1972 there weren't no production of 2.0 L motors, and now I'm still more confused.
If some could tell me wich kind of motor has my car, I would be very thankful.
It's a '72 914/4 with 4722900806 chassis number.

Is the production date late 72? That would make it actually a 73 model and then it could have a 2 liter. Otherwise, the only 2 liter installed in a 914 in 72 would have been a 6 cylinder. You didnt mention if it was a 4 or a 6.

Take a picture of the engine, that will tell everything. Get a good close picture of the right and left. Also, the engine may not be the stock engine, Check the number on the case and post it here. I can tell you what you have.

I assume this is a 4 cylinder model? They DID make a 72 914/6 that was a 2.0 for euro delivery only....pretty rare though.

There should be a engine number on the block near the oil filler if it is a four cylinder. Also a 2.0 4 cylinder will have three bolts holding the intake manifold on each head. The 1.7 and 1.8 have four...two in between the intakes and one on each side.

In the US, the 914 may have had many engine changes and many have been upgraded or even down graded with engines from busses, vans, square backs etc....some people even put in Chevy V8s.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

Hey, it looks better than some of our cars. You have to start somewhere since there are no new ones. Give us details on the engine. Looks like your front wheels are Mahles, I like those the best.

I take that back, those look more like Pedrinnis

Welcome Javi!! It looks as if you have the perfect canvas on which to begin creating a master piece. Mallorca is beautiful, as is Benedorm, Rota, I could go on for ever! Are you in Palma? Is Manny's pub still there? It's been about 15 years since I was last there.

Welcome again!

If I go to Spain and Mallorca, I see another suitcase with parts being dragged to Europe....Monique is gonna love this!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Atleast you car is pretty much ALL THERE! You should see Jeroen's 914! I have yet to see a running 914 in Europe even at Mittlemotor they didn't run.
