Was running good 2 years ago when I pulled it out. Supposedly rebuilt before I got it, I ran it maybe for 3 hours before I wanted a 6 cyl. Was=1000.00Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

Now, whatever I can get....

Click to view attachment It must have bus heads, idk. It even comes with the really cool solexs.

That engine case code is a 66HP bus motor if its still stock.

Hah, could be. I actually thought that c could be a g? But idk, the cb signifies a type 2 dosnt it?

'72-'73 Type 2 1700 a bus motor all right.
That being said 1K is a bit high.

Can't be a type 2, no air box.

As a bus motor it will have hydraulic lifters. Was it in a running 914? If not it may still have the bus flywheel. Not interested just trying to get out the right info on the engine.

It was in my 914 when I bought it, bolted to a sideshift, running.. I really think its a 914 2 liter with bus heads.

Heads are really what make a "914 2L" a "914 2L" Bottom end of the 914 and bus motors are pretty much the same, in this case though the case is a bus serial number as well.

There is nothing here that is 914 2L specific, might explain the desire for a 6 as with this setup you were probably about 40HP down from a stock 914 2L.

Not knowing what crank this thing actually has you are probably looking at 1.7 core motor prices (couple hundred bucks at best)

Well someone make me an offer, I just want to get it out of the back of my truck...

where is it?
that might help to sell it

You should update your ad to reflect the product correctly

Hah, I'm going to leave just to piss u off

No problem.

If you don't know for sure what it is, why not call it what we all know it is - a mystery motor?

Lol, I will change it. Frankenmotor- of unknown origin.

Since our cars are so old and just the nature of the beasts in general, many of our cars don't even have their original motors. Over the years, many have been rebuilt (some, multiple times), and unless the build documents followed those motors, you could have a 2.xL in a 1.7L bus case and not know it unless you open it up

I had what appeared to be a 1.8L motor that came out of a 914 I acquired a long time ago. It had a rebuild tag riveted over the factory stamped number, so I didn't even know what case it was, let alone what was inside it - so I listed it as a 'Mystery Motor'. Turned out, it was a 1.8L bus motor ...
