Long block options for my '76 2.0, advice needed Options

[Queenie]

Greetings to all.

One of the guys at Rennlist pointed me in your direction & I'm hoping to get some advice...

It's soon going to be time to rebuild my engine and I'm looking for a reliable supplier for a long block. As the title above says, I have a '76 2.0 liter. I was thinking of ordering from GEX but having recently done some research, that isn't sounding like a very good idea.

Any suggestions, advice, comments? Thanks much.

Good luck & happy hunting.

Thanks, Bruce!

I'm sure I'll find a solution to this problem. I'm a very determined and resourceful girl, and I have good mechanical support in the ex-husband (bless his pointy little head).

I love my 914 and I'm not giving it up for anything. I figure if I can get a good solid engine in it, I'm good to go for a few more years. (I know better than to slack on the routine maintenance, so all I need is a good starting point.)

I have known since I bought it that this repair was impending. And yeah, I probably could have bought a car that didn't need this kind of work but hey - have any of you EVER bought an early air cooler that didn't need some love and attention? I suppose if you have a big budget that's a possibility, but it's never happened to me and I knew this experience wouldn't be any different. I've put over 10K on the car already, and it's been extremely reliable.

So I'm gonna fix it, and keep driving the shit out of it. It makes me happy.
