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 EASY crew in Emeryville has run a number of VW water cooled motors in their lemons 914. Jim loves to chat, might want to give him a call and ask about what they had to do to make it work, 510-653-3279

The EASY crew in Emeryville has run a number of VW water cooled motors in their lemons 914. Jim loves to chat, might want to give him a call and ask about what they had to do to make it work, 510-653-3279 I had my hands all over that car numerous times. The only thing 914 left on it is parts of the rear firewall and maybe (?) the windshield. Not exactly an ideal blueprint for converting a stock 914 ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
