After taking everyone's advice when I saw the car I wanted, I jumped.
CASH IN HAND! Will be picking up a '74 2.0 in RED with many extra parts within the next 2 weeks!

Not even in my possession yet and I'm already making lists of what I need...
New Rubber package is tops on the list but I've got buckets of stuff to go through first. Extra doors, bumpers, oh so much more all included in the deal. |

Nice looking car. One observation though. Isn't that a 1.7 or 1.8 motor? The spark plug position is wrong for the 2.0. Just want to make sure you aren't being misled.

Just want to make sure you aren't being misled. Brett Yes plug position looks wrong. Looks like the plenum is 2.0 though. See if you can get the engine case numbers, may be different engine. intake runners are 3 bolt on 2.0 4 bolt on 1.7 /1.8 Looks like a plug was welded in where the original spark plugs would have been.  |

Was told it was originally a 1.7
Swapped to a 2.0 from another 74 This is why I like this forum so much. |

Never seen the plugs go in at that angle either- but must admit they'd be easier to R&R, especially with carbs!! Wonder what engine that is??? If the body is solid, it's a good deal.

Could it be a 2.0 with Bus heads? Can't remember if the VW 2.0 heads used the same spark plug angle or not. Or maybe machined 1.7/1.8 heads?
