Good morning to all of you readers.
I recently imported a 75 2.0 914. VIN and chassis numbers have been located and seem in order, however I am unable to find the engine number in its usual spot. What could be explanations for having an engine without an engine number? When engines were replaced by VW/Porsche, would these new engines possibly have no number on them? Thanks, Raf (from Luxembourg/Europe) |

Considering all the above, looks like you started with a 75 2.0L 49-state engine, which now has a case change to an early 1.7L case, with the original hardware swapped onto it.

Thank you Jeff for your help... on another note, when starting to take of the metal parts on the engine I noticed some bolts going into the cylinderheads (see picture). I cannot find them in the Porsche parts catalog and I am unsure of their purpose. Anyone know? Are these merely to hang the engine whilst works are done? Or do they serve a purpose?
