Looking to get heat exchangers for my '73 1.7, mine are gone.
Will heat exchangers from a '70 1.7 fit my '73 1.7 ? ...does the design or configuration of the heat exchangers vary at all...at least for 1.7's? Attached image(s) |

...."bang to fit....cut to match"!
I'm definitely trying to avoid the above motto as much as possible. |

just playing with ya.
flat file the mating surface and install with new copper head exhaust gaskets and use copper nuts to install them. They will fit perfectly fine. |

pretty clean he's. just remember to order an exhaust system for early 1.7/1.8, even if you have a 2.0 or better displacement 4. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

That's too many hammers isn't it. One (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) to help seat the pipes against the copper gaskets as he slowly tightens the nuts on the stud. No sawsall just a big rasp to true the surfaces of the HEs. No welding unless one of the flanges tears. We need an RTV smilie to hold the coppere gaskets up. Dave |

All of the 1.7s used the same heat exchangers. The 74 1.8 used those as well. The ones in the picture are the 1.7 style exchangers.
The 2.0 ones (73-74 2.0 only) look very similar, but they do not have the upward bend (the "kick up") near the back of the pipes. The 75-76 914s (1.8s and 2.0s both) used a third style of exhaust which is very different from the others. --DD |
