Hello all. I saw an ad for a 1.7 L Porsche 914 motor and was wondering if this would fit in my '79 Bust. If it would fit, is it a bolt up, plug in the Bus FI stuff and go job or something worse. The guy says 'Runs well, $250.' Is this a good idea or should I invest $250 in the motor I currently have. I haven't taken it apart yet to see what's wrong with it. My compression test was less than inspiring (0 on 1 and 3, 70 & 110 on 2 and 4) so I'm weighing my options. TIA, Bob J. __\/__ . / ^ _ \ . |\| (*)(*) |/| ________.OOOo____oo____oOOO.__________ / Bob Johnson - Programmer \ | rjohnson@zeus.nesea2400.navy.mil | | Tracor ESD -- California, MD | | zaphod@mail.ameritel.net | \___________________Oooo.______________/ .oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_)
