Our search engine is...challenging sometimes.
Learn me on how we identify blocks?
I found a huge parts cache from a local guy and these are part of the stash.

2.0L block. My 2.0L is GA011143

This is a good site for info like that: http://www.p914.com/p914_vin.htm

Thanks all :-)

Simple quick look...

If the serial number is located as you see above, it's a 2.0 liter case.

If it's located on the top edge of the case near the mating surface, roughly middle of the top....it's a 1.8 or 1.7 case.

All of that is not really important unless you are seeking a number matching case.
All cases can be used to build any size motor....everything else fits.

A lot of the VW applications put the serial number in that spot as well. So it's not a guarantee of a 2.0 case.

--DD

And, I might add, early 1.7 Bus engines had the serial number on the fan shroud, not on the case itself ...............

The Cap'n

So do 912E cases

Note that Porsche's have 'Cases' not blocks...
