Hi.
Way back long ago, I had a 1973 914 w/2.0 litre engine. I sold it along the way somewhere...
Recently I had a client pay me for services partially in cash, partially with a messy 1973 914 w/ 1.7 litre engine.
This is a long-term project for me, and I have all the time in the world. My plan is to remove the engine/trans from the body, and have all the rusty bits repaired and have the body repainted.
I've never done it, but I would like to take a crack at rebuilding the engine myself. As part of the car, the owner gave me two new cylinders and heads for a 2.0 litre engine. Are these just a bolt on addition? Or is there other stuff I need to change also? Somewhere in the back of my head something is ringnig about cams or something...
I've also looked at engine rebuilders on the web. Hard to know who to trust because everyone says they've cornered the market on perfect rebulding. Any thoughts?
