..... I lived in Minnesota, St. Paul at the time, sold it to a young
photographer who lived just off Henepin and Lake in Mpls, along with the
rebuilt 094 Tranny.  Used the bigger 215 mm 914 flywheel, the gears had
been changed, the differential was from a Vanagon.....

..... and the '74 was quicker to 45 than my 1978 Scirocco!  Got 28 MPG, and
cruised at 3500 RPM at 70MPH with oversize 215/70-14 tires.

**** SNIP FROM ORIGINAL ****
Actually, he could have my old 2.0 liter 914 motor.  I built it up for my
1974 loaf, and sold it many years ago, and yes, it was pushing 150 HP what
with the stump pulling cam, dual webers, rockers, larger pistons, ported
heads, yada, yada, yada....

So, 150 HP out of a 2.0 liter 914?  yep, easy to do.

Made the '74 way wicked quick!
