What Is It ?

[Jim Wolf]

Hello guys,

I get an engine as a core.
Serial is 6660338, red fan shroud , CIS , 6 bolt crankshaft...
Any idea what is this 2.7 , 3.0 ???

Thanks!

A third digit of 8, 9, 0 or 1 would be a '78-'81 3.0L. I would imagine that a 6 would indicate a '76 which would be a 2.7L.

The distributor on the 3.0L SC engines turns counterclockwise. Others turn clockwise. You could check that.

Thanks Brian,

I take a look in the LH crankcase : 930.101.104.0R

Thanks!
Jim

Look at the engine type number stamped on the the case just to the right of the fan housing next to the cam tower oil line.

If its a 2.7, you'll see a 911/xx. If its a 3.0, it will read 930/xx. The last two digits tell you what it is.

I recognize that #
it's a 1976 Carrera 3.0, 930/02. They used #s 666 0001 >>
the other Carrera engine for that year was the 2.7 911/83 which had #s 666 8001 >>

Thanks Bill!

So, this engine has a 70.4mm crank but with 6-bolts instead of 9 correct ?

Thanks!

Carrera 3.0 motors all had 6-bolt cranks.
