" -vw- 914 "or" PORSCHE 914 ?

" 
" 2.0 4cyl. is listed as a PORSCHE engine
" and there was controversies as to it being
" a 'VW' motor - it isn't.

remember the -vw- type IV?  iirc the 1.7 and 2.0 were known as the
type IV, and the car likewise.  this is the motor used in the 914-4.

yes, the chassis were all assembled in the same place.  914-6s got
better suspension hardware as well as better drivetrains.  a shame the
torque boxes tend to rot out so fast.
