Engine...what have I got, newbie here with I hope a simple question Options

[seanpaulmc]

So, I've had this "affliction" for a while and I've succumbed. Bought myself a '73 2.0 supposedly. I'm looking the car over trying to get familiar with whatever it is in my driveway now and where to start on the repairs. I could use some help from the experts here.

I'm trying to figure out what the engine is but I cannot find any part number stampings, only what I believe to be case matching numbers. And, I haven't been underneath the car yet, still trying to work that one out. Here are some pictures of the engine bay. It has Webers but note the dipstick is short - seems the tube is reduced down to the case level.



















Thanks for your help.

It appears, to me, you're missing the entire cooling vane assembly. It's controlled with an expanding thermostat which is located on the lower driver's side of the engine rear of the cooling fan housing. All of the tin holes should be filled. Plastic Spark plug wire clips, etc. note how the plug wires are laying on the carbs/intakes. Your air filters are filthy.
