AA performance on ebay would have most or all the parts for a stock rebuild,as I don't know if anyone stocks a total rebuild kit,you will need to strip your motor down and get the bearing sizes for the case if you are going that far. For example European Motorworks have rebuilt stock rods for a good price and also carry the bearings you will need,really best to shop around for your exact requirements. In regards to keeping the engine stock...most go to 96mm (66mm stroke) barrels and pistons even with a stock build as its so easy to do and offers a small power increase @ the same time. |

Some sell a "kit", but you still need to measure the crank for bearings, rebuild the heads, etc.
There's no complete rebuild kit like with the T1 engine. We can give you a "to do" and parts list. |

The best kit to buy for your 1.8L build is one with 96mm P&C's to punch it out to 1911L. Go big or go home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hope this isn't considered hijacking a thread, but I have a '75 with a 1.8 that is sitting and waiting for me to get to it.... I've always wanted to see someone publish a "to do list" for a complete go through on a car that has been stored for many years, including a to do and parts list on going through an engine. If you have something like that Mark I'd love to get a copy! Maybe already somewhere on this forum, and my search skills aren't up to it, but I have yet to find something like that. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) No offense but . . . It’s always funny when someone says stock and the conversation always goes to 96mm or flat tops. I get the premise but there is something to be said for stock since none of these type 4 914 motors is are going to ever make big HP by modern standards. But to all the hot rodder’s out there - rock on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

If it costs the same why not. Every little bit helps.
