no look here for info (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) 914 info on top of page (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Thanks! And yes I did search on that engine info on this site. But it says W is the code for 1971 1.7 but the engine I have not only has W but "WA" where the common 1.7 and 1.8 engine numbers located and below the oil filler neck with numbers I believe are all 2.0 or GC/GA numbers. That is why I'm a little bit confuse on this engine I got. Currently it has tail shifter engine support bar on it. thanks again! |

The 1.7 W blocks were tagged at the back of the case near the tranny hookup...looks like that's where your W is...but I don't see a number in there. |

Yes only WA and the number below the oil filler looks like it was tagged in there on top of a numbers underneath. I tried to pull the left side of the tag and I saw Letter "C J" before some numbers but can't get those numbers because of the riveted tag. Well google shows it was "1976-1979 2000cc - European Only". Do you think it was for a combination of 914 and Type 2 engine combine? The engine bar underneath was for a 914 transmission tail shifter. thanks for your response! |

Those are smog pump heads, making it either a 1.7 bus motor or a 2.0 914 motor. Are there block off plated below #1 on the case and behind/above the taco plate? It has a 914 dipstick location, which "could" mean it's a 2 liter 914.

If so the area at the bottom where the oil fill tube went would be blocked off. Look between the blower housing and the crankcase greater (in the valley) for a number, too. |

Thanks for your input "The Cap'n" and to you Jake Raby! It looks like it came from 412/411 and the CJ beginning engine code at the bottom of the oil filler I think is from Type 2 engine. Maybe the previous owner made some collection of various VW engine parts and installed 914 tins on it. Well I hope someone from 914world would be interested using this for a core or temporary engine while building their engine. I may not be able to use this for my teens. Thanks again and God Bless! |
