New Owner with Engine Question

I am sure that this question has been asked and answered many times already but I have not been able to find the answer after looking for several days, so here goes. I just bought a 1974 Porsche 914. The previous owner told me that it had a 1.7 liter motor in it. From my checking I have found that the 74 year model only came with either an 1.8 or a 2.0 motor. There is a sticker in on the side of the motor compartment that says that the car came with a 2.o motor. The engine that is in the car now has straight spark plugs in the heads. A friend of mine said that this indicated that this is a VW motor not a Porsche motor. Is he correct. If so, how can I tell which motor I have.

Thanks,
