Engine number missing on my 75 914 2.0 Options

[Junioren]

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,

Thanks for all your help on previous questions.

I have opened the valve covers of the cylinder heads to see the ref number on them (still trying to find out if I am now running a 1.7 (as the engine number indicates) or a 2.0 (what I thought it was originally).

The cylinder head ref reads 039 101 371 A (I think a 2.0 cyl head).

Would I need to dig deeper to know whether the engine is in fact a 1.7 turned 2.0 or still a 1.7?

Any suggestions on how I could find the answer to that?

Thanks

The 1.7 and the 2.0 have a different stroke. Maybe you can measure that to get your answer.
