I am in the process of pulling the engine on my '74 2.0 and the closer I get to pulling it, the more worried I am about the engine being a VW bus 2.0 engine. I just bought a D-Jet fuel injection system (thanks Bob!) and a clutch kit for the engine, now wondering if they will work. What are the differences in the engines? If it is a VW 2.0, would I be better off finding a 914 2.0? My car has the single down draft weber. While I'm at it, what fuel pump do you guys recommend for the fuel injection set up? I see on evilBay some of these fuel pumps going for big bucks. This car is just a normal driver, so I wouldn't need anything fancy.
As always, thanks for all the help! |

Thanks for all the info. I took a few pictures of the engine in the car and it appears that the PO took the intakes out of a VW bus, drilled new holes, and mounted them on the engine. I'm leaning towards the engine being a 914 2.0, but if anyone can tell anymore from the picture, please let me know.

I'm leaning towards the engine being a 914 2.0, but if anyone can tell anymore from the picture, please let me know. Check location of serial number, 2.0 914 should be behind the oil filler, there are 2 basic engine codes for the 2.0 914 in the USA, the GA used from 1973 to 1974 and the GC used in the 1975 - 1976 model years. GB code was used in the rest of the world with the carb engines. Type 4 cases bus or Porsche are pretty much the same except for the dipstick location and the oil filler neck, yours looks to be 914, dipstick should be between the oil filler and the drivers side of the engine. |
