Newbie, says hello, ask for help, Just bought three cars Options

[james2]

Hi,

Some people may know me from the VW boards. Had a 914 when i was 18 and always wanted another. even though I know very little about them. So i rushed out and bought three of them!!

I have two 75's and a 73. I bought them from the same person.

None run, but the 73 is a fairly nice looking car, rust free.

One 75 is worth restoring, pretty complete, very little rust.

The other 75 is a shell and has a lot of rust. Has engine, but it in a box, torn apart.

All are missing original fuel injection- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

None of them run.

Question 1. How do I tell if the 73 has the 2.0 l or 1.7 litre engine without tear down?

Question 2. Which car is more desirable, valuable, assuming both are the same shape, the 73 or 75.

Question 3. Will a type 1 engine fit with the up right cooling, I have a 2332cc type 1with a DTM. Jake and me built it and Jake Raby dyno'd it at 210HP I want to build a type 4, but this motor would be fun until the type 4 was done.
