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 question then is "easy" for who? There are a lot of things that are easy for you that would be just about impossible for me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
