Yes, the motors are very similar and the 914 motor will bolt up. What you end up changing are:
flywheel/clutch (from your motor)
all cooling tin (from your motor)
all motor mounts (from your motor)
new fuel system (your choice of aftermarket carbs or aftermarket FI to fit under the t4 deck lid)

good luck!
