There is no such animal for a 914. The last application of the VW Type IV motor in a car (the Microbus is a "truck", and you cannot smog a truck engine in a car!) was in 1976, in a 914 (and a 912E) and had funky analog electronic fuel injection on it.

Like I said... GROSS POLLUTER for making something that cuts down emissions by 80%.

Other engines could be swapped in, but those have their own complications.
