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 |

You can build any-displacement 914 engine on any 914 case. W would have originally been a 1.7, but if you use 1.8 P&Cs and 1.8 heads it's basically a 1.8 motor. Or swap in 2.0 crank and rods, 2.0 P&Cs, 2.0 heads, and it's a 2-liter. But with GEX on the build sheet, it could be anything from a 1.8 to a mis-matched collection of scrap parts held together by silver paint and good intentions. And the good intentions are running out. --DD |
