You should be able to use much of the 2.0 stuff if you really want to.

However, the 2.0 setup is calibrated to put in enough air for a 1971cc motor, not the 1679cc motor. You *will* have to do some tweaking to get it to run anything but very rich.

The two main things, I would think, would be the fuel injectors and the MPS. I would guess that, if you use the 1.7 injectors and MPS, you would be reasonably close to the right fuel:air mixture.

You may very well run into problems getting the 2.0 intake runner pipes to fit on 1.7 heads. The 2.0 versions are set up for 3 intake studs, while the 1.7 ones are setup for 4 studs. Not sure if the 1.7 pipes will fit the 2.0 manifold.

The ECU is the same part number for the 73 1.7 and the 73 2.0, so that should work close to OK. (Later ECUs are different, but hopefully close.)

Most of the wiring connections are the same to my recollection--the one that I would check, though, is the throttle position switch. Check Haynes or Pelican's wiring diagrams, and see if the little numbers next to the TPS symbol get the same wires or not.

The Head Temp sensor (Temp Sensor II) is pretty close for all the 914s. The resistance ranges from 1500-1700 ohms when cold, which isn't that awful much. Or at least that's the case with brand-new HTS you can get from the dealer today.
