Engine Installation

[tseybold]

I have a question for the 914 guys.
I have recently purchased a 914 2.0 however no 2.0 motor came with it.
I do have a 914 1.7 motor.
Q: Will the 1.7 install without any changes to the transaxles or mounting issues??

the engine will physically fit and mate up with the transaxle with no problems.

However, the cooling tins, exhaust and various fuel injection parts from the 2.0 wont fit on a 1.7.

Mounting should be not be any different, the transaxle should mount the same as well.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your time. The 1.7 motor is totally complete with F.I and all shrouding / tins

[IanTBoyd]

Perfect, bolt it in and hook it up good luck!

heads are different

the 2 liter 914 heads are far superior performers

Thanks
