I am a new member with my first (not quite basket case) 1975 914 2.0. I bought the car with no engine, it was in the shop with a bill on it.
Can any one recomend a good choice for an engine?
Bone stock original fuel injected?
Carb motor? I found a take out from a wreck that was recently built up?
I owned a 75 911 S Targa in another life and am very glad to be back in the fold with my humble return.

first, welcome to the club!

second, ANY engine is going to be better than no engine!

i'd say a pre '75 2.0L is the best choice of stock engines, preferably will a good running stock FI on it.

after that, the sky (and your wallet) is the limit to what you can do ...
