Hi,
My 1972 914 is VIN 4722904683. The engine number in my 914 is EA023811. Could this be the original engine to the car? … Could it be a VW type 4 engine. How do I tell the difference? Thanks in advance for any help/advice |

If IF you're building up a concourse car, then it'd be important to get a COA to make sure. If you're looking at building a driver, then you're a-ok to have everything period correct. The fact that your engine stamps are within the range for that year car, you're likely looking at the engine that came with it.
914 buyers aren't looking at the engine stamps 99/100 times. They're looking at the hell hole and making sure it's as rust-free as possible. So if you're looking to build it up to sell some day, this isn't something that most of us would give a second glance at. Just my .02 |
