i need to know what other differences there are between the 914 version of the t4 engine and the 912E version.
why does one cost 1200 as a core and another cost 500 as a core? b |

912E has more unique (ie rare and expense) smog and exhaust components, particularly on Calinazifornia cars. standards where getting tougher. . these are more expensive parts. Some sheet metal on the engine is also unique to the 912E and hence hard to find if it is lost to prior owners say when car is purchased with no engine,
Also the 912E unfortunatly falls under Calinazifornias super strict fixed smog year for testing. It is unforgiving if original smog equipment is missing, or beyond repair so you may need to get it, thats why the prices for complete cores is so high, all the extra goodies, others wise they are not that much different than a 914 engine. The old 912 (that teh 914 replaced in 1970) non 912E with the 356 style motor are a whole different thing. |
