Thanks for the info guys!! One more question; I believe my motor originated in a 914. When I gave the dealer the sn# he said it was probably from a 411 or something like that. What is the difference between a 914 1700 and the ones found in a bus? I noticed that the intakes are slightly wider apart on my motor? I don't have the sn# with me right now but I will try to dig it up.
