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.

looks like a rebuilt engine and did use a non 914 case and fan shroud which does not show any 914 engine number on usual spot. 2.0 heads maybe if the intake has 3 hole for the bolt (like what others said above) and the engine tin could be from 1.7/1.8 that is why there is top hole for 1.7/1.8 spark plug or just holes from FI parts. For me there's nothing wrong using different parts as long the rebuilt was perfectly done and a good running engine.
