I was told this engine came from a 1.7 that was in a 914. I'm tearing it down to rebuild into a 2056.
First, I found an M12 or M14 triple square bolt with a spring under it. This bolt is located between two pushrod tubes. I'm guessing this is the oil pressure relief since I didn't find the giant slotted plug I was expecting to find...true? Second, there is no windage tray. Did the early motors not have a windage tray? Should I source one and install it? I don't see anyplace in the casting that would receive the tray... Third, I didn't find the serial number where I expected it to be -- in front of the breather tower. Where else could it be? It seems like a low mile case to me...lifters and cam bearings show minimal wear, the cam looks to even be reusable to my untrained eye. If I had to guess i'd say this was a low-mile motor that got parked due to FI problems or something. have no pics but will post some tonight. |

Hey Rich,
what's your plan for building the 2056? are you going to replace the crank with a 2.0 crank? I'm interested as I'd like to use my spare 1.7 for this also. thanks |

Hey Rich, what's your plan for building the 2056? are you going to replace the crank with a 2.0 crank? I'm interested as I'd like to use my spare 1.7 for this also. thanks Yep. stock 2.0 crank, stock 2.0 rods rebuilt, arp fasteners, 1.8 cyls bored out to 96mm, and 96mm KB pistons is my plan. My understanding is that the 1.7 case will not require any clearancing with this combo but of course the mock-up will tell me what's what. I've also been told the 1.7 cases are the best for making big engines although I'm not sure why... |

I don't really get on the gas in my 1.7 but if I had a 2056 with a Dr. Evil Transmission, I'd be all over it. |
