Just recent bought a 914 with a replacement engine 1.8ltr included. It turns out that this engine also is a goner, so I need to find a new one or find an alternative.
There is a Golf gti 20v AGU engine that I may get to buy from a neighbor, but I do not know if I can make use of it in my 914. Is there records that this one is useable. Generally, are the VW Golf engine convertible? What is the most easy or best engine to start looking for? Thanks |

The best engine to start looking for varies a lot. Some people will say LS6, others will say Subaru, others will say air-cooled 911.
Realistically, the easiest engine to swap in is a 914 engine. That is what the car was built for. If you get a complete one, you can bolt it in and go--depending on how "complete" it really is. --DD |
