I ran across a listing on EBAY Item #224348635275 on a 1974 Porsche 914 with a 1967 911S 2.0L engine installed etc. The 67 911S engine was a sportier 2.0L engine Porsche that put out reportedly 180 hp, with 144 lb torque. Looking at the overall car it looks pretty rough! Looks like someone has put the oil tank in the front compartment and not real sure whats going on in the engine compartment. If someone has the time could they look at this listing and give me your thoughts. I have asked the seller to clearify what’s going on in the engine compartment and some engine numbers, no reply.

Hey,
I wonder if my engine is identical as the one you’ve been talking about? I bought my 914 in May 1970 with a 4-cylinder engine, later I bought a 1969 6-cylinder MFI (engine no. 6390039) in Germany in 1971 and then put that engine in my 914. After driving the 914 for about 15 years, the car was stored in around 1985 A few years ago I took it out again, completely disassembled it and had it sandblasted. Lately I have been busy welding in new sheet metal, putting in some new parts and I have been hoping to start driving the 914 again within a few years. But reading this thread, I’ve started wondering: If my engine is really worth that much, wouldn't I be better off selling this engine and installing a 4-cylinder or a even a cheaper 6-cylinder?
