Engine Case Number
I searched the archives to no avail... I have a 1.8L completely apart and am trying to decide if I should use this case as the best candidate (balance of cost ($0) and longevity (???))for a 2.0L. The number is EC040586. It has a WA stamped on the extended top flat surface. Anyone know anything about these numbers?
Also, from reading the past posts I also think the 1.8L heads are the way to go for porting/polishing and bigger valves. Any opinions. Thanks in advance!!! JB [This message has been edited by DSPTurtle (edited 11-07-2001).] |

acording to the haynes the EC040586 (engine #) has a 7.3:1 compression while if it started with a AN it would be an 8.6:1 compression and the horsepower is rated 76@4800 for the EC.

The AN engines were not available in US-spec 914s, just European ones.
The EC case is a fine starting point for a 914 engine, and the 1.8 heads are very good places to start as well. "Go for it." --DD ------------------ Pelican Parts 914 Tech Support A few pics of my car: http://www.pelicanparts.com/gallery/Dave_Darling |
