I just got back from pulling an engine to add to the parts that I've collected for my rebuild... It was sold to me as an engine with a set of 44 IDF carbs for $400. Well, the bad news is that the carbs are 40 IDFs. The good news is that for $400 I got a complete engine with 2.0 heads, 009 dizzy, Bosch blue coil, full tins, clutch, flywheel, 40IDFs with linkage, a set of SS heat exchangers, and a muffler! Woohoo!
The engine is an unknown oddity... AW case from a 1.8 bus engine, with 2.0 914 heads. Who knows what is inside the case... My guess is that it is a 2.0 rebuild, but the original GA case was bad. It came out of what was originally a 1974 2.0. I may be looking to trade the carbs for a pair of 44s if anyone is interested... I think that 40s are a bit on the small side for the 2258 cc engine that I am building. I'm pretty excited about this! I also learned that it is unbelievably easy to pull an engine from a 914. |
