Hi 914World,
New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
Looking forward to this one! |

Work has picked up and progress has screeched to a halt... I'm trying to pick away at small things for now until I can get a free weekend. I bought an oil filter adapter off of a world member and installed that and the oil cooler this weekend.
Also bought a 3-4 side passenger tin as the one I had was a 1.7/1.8 and the plug holes were in the wrong spot. It needed some repairs as a PO had hacked up the coil bracket mount. My repairs are rough, but good enough for engine tin: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1494909075.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1494909225.1.jpg) I'm going to drop the tin off tomorrow with the powder coater, hopefully I'll have some tin soon and be even closer to a break-in run of my new engine. |

Mine was cracked badly in these locations as well. You should mount the coil on the fan housing where it's much stronger as sone years were done |
