VW Engine?????
I was thinking of buying a 914,
I heard you can put a VW type 4 engine in this car , Is it possible? Also if so what would I need to buy in addition. Regards, Andrew. |

Andrew,
If you buy a stock 4-cylinder 914 it will already come with a Type 4 VW engine. That's what they came with from the factory.

Hi,
I recomend to do a search on this topic... there are plenty of postings that discuss swaping VW bus or vanagon engines into 914's Patrick

Thinking about buying a 914 is a great idea...Judging from your question you have a significant amount of "thinking" ahead. This is a good thing. It is very easy to make an uneducated 914 purchase that will be very expensive and frustrating. More good news... you are @ the right place to gain the knowledge and support required to make an intelligent and "fun" purchase...keep the qestions coming...and read everything you can lay your eyes on...

Thanks for the info guys,
Your right, I dont know much about 914, basically nothing, I have a 66 912 now and I am learning alot the hard way. I dont know what it is about these 4 cylinders but I am hooked. Thanks again, Andrew |

I had a 66 912, loved that car...that engine just ran and ran and ran! If you are getting familiar with the 912 engine you'll feel right at home working on a 914 engine.

Never buy a 914 without taking off the rocker panels. You can be looking at a seamingly beautiful car that is on its way to bending in half. Ask many of us on this site how we know this. Good Luck, Pete
