| Can anyone tell me if case #w0014515 is from a Porsche? If it is, what size motor is it and what model/year Porsche would it have come from? Thanks. |

It could be from a 914 or a VW 411.
The VW 411 used the W case from the tail end of the Z series in 1969. It would have been a 1.7L engine.

| Are these motors worth screwing with? I bought this case with rebuilt crank, rods, heads, etc... about 15 years ago. Also came with a set of Weber 44 IDFs. Plan was to build the motor and put it a VW, not a Porsche. Is it worth the time, money and effort? |

Probably should buy the factory 2.0 version with factory fuel injection Far superior. 44s are too much carb for these engines unless heavily modifed for racing

| It doesn't have to stay a 1.7L. Big bore kits are readily available - easily upgraded to 96mm-104mm for larger capacity. Unbreakable bottom end on the T4 engines. |

| The 1.7 case is a bit beefier and will need some clearancing to handle a 96mm jugs. and even more to handle a 71mm crank. But it will still be the preferred case to make a 2056cc or a 1911cc. |
