My 75' 62k mile 914 is ready to redo...the original 2.0 is going to get the FI put back on, then taken out of the car and put in storage.

I have a 73' 2.0 that I want to build and put in the re-done car: What would you do with the engine build? I'm taking off Webers from the original car...that's a starting point.

Unless you're trying to stay dead stock original 2.0,

IMHO I'd redo it as a 2056 with the EFI & backdate the exhaust to the better breathing 73-74 2.0 type for maybe 110-125 HP;

or for something milder - bump to 8.0:1 Euro P&C for 100 HP & 73-74 exhaust (14+/- more than a stock GC 2L, 5 more than GA)

Both set-up will work with the Djet.

.... of course that's assuming you can do so in your state.

I am in a somewhat similar boat. My '75 has the stock 1.8 with Ljet and it is painfully slow, even with back-dated exhaust. I also have a 2.0 with Djet that I pulled from my '76 before parting it. I am leaning toward a 2056 running Ljet as an interim engine until I am ready to take the plunge and put a 3.2 in.
