914 Engine

[Rob]

Anybody around here running a 1.8 914 engine in their bug ?
How much work was it to convert it ?

Is there a difference between a 'normal' TIV and a 914 engine ?



Thanks,

Rob.

I see this post all the time! I'm adding the differences to "Jake's thougthts" as soon as I get a spare night to work on the site.

there were basically 2 914 engines, 17/1800 and then the 2.0 the 2.0 has 3 stud buig chambered heads and are highly sought after....

It is a TIV engine and there is nothing "Special" about it!

Thanks Jake,

So the 1.8 914 is a good candidate ?
I guess since the 2.0 is much sought after it will not be as easy to find as a 1.8 ?

Thanks,

Rob.

They are not hard to find. Fairly $$ tho. I picked up a spare set of 2L heads cuz the price was right. Paid 450 for the set in my 2L project. Going into my 914 first. Then the Bug after the Big 4 is done (for the 914)

500 for the rebuilding the pair...
