My understanding is that the FI itself isn't the problem. All the emissions stuff is what takes away the power. Backdate the exhaust and take out the smog pump and I think it should have the same power as an earlier one.
If you want, you can take your 1.7 and make it a 2.0 by just swapping crank, P/C's, cam and heads. I think the cam is different, but not sure. Someone will know for sure.
There is a little bit of difference in some of the cases where one won't accept a windage tray to keep the oil from sloshing up onto the crank, I think.
Other than that, the cases are essentially the same as far as 914 cases go.
