I guess its time to start my motor swap from a 1.8 to a mildly built 2.0Lt. Soooo the big question is. Should I just drop the motor and leave in the tranny or drop them as one unit. I don’t want to get the "while I'm in there" syndrome. The only thing I am going to do is clean and paint the engine bay and place my oil cooler.
The motor coming out is just a rebuilt 1.8Lt W/ carbs and my 2.0Lt is a 2056cc with HAM heads, euro E cam, 44 Webbers W/32 vents, CB Performance distributor, stock heat exchangers with a Vintage Speed muffler. |

Been doing this for 41 years, and I've never heard of trying to R&R the engine in a 914 without pulling the trans with it. Might be possible, but REALLY difficult. Have fun! The Cap'n |
