Hi guys, trying to buy a 1970 911T Karmann coupe and trying to figure out if the numbers are matching.

Chassis
911 0122050

Engine
6106947

Trans
91100 700 421

According to the latest Red Book, the chassis is a Karmann, the engine would be type 911/08 US Sporto

Yes, the engine # is a very good match to the VIN. The transmission # is missing a digit (should be 7), and I think would be 7000421. I do not have much data linking VIN's to transmission #'s and the 4 speed (type 911/00 serial 7000001 to 7000691) data is almost non-existent, however, the serial is not inconsistent with the VIN.
BTW, if the Redbook says that a Karmann chassis can only have a 911/08 engine, then the book is less than useless. They only made 227 911/08 engines and there were 4116 Karmann 911T.

Any one still around to help decode this 1977 Targa engine?

'71 T Back To Life
 

The numbers for our '71T Coupe:

VIN: 9111100732

Engine: 6115580 Type: 911/07

Transaxle: 7114096

Ratios: 911/01 = A-GA-0-V-ZA

Date Code: 901.301.101.OR This one has me stumped to find out how to decipher. Any help here is appreciated.

Our first LWB car and looking forward to putting it back on the road after a 15 year sleep.

Thanks!

* 6590600 * any ideas

Should be type 930/06, if so: 3.0 liter from a 1979 911SC (US California)

Can someone help me with identifying an engine please? I have a 72 Targa which came into the UK from South Africa. I was aware that it wasn't matching numbers when I bought it. Its running on Zeniths and pulls very well. I pulled the motor out to have the gearbox rebuilt so decided to put a clutch in it and fix the normal oil leaks. Anyway it is running alloy heads dated 1/70 - iron cylinders (no idea of age). I was told it was a 2.7 and is registered in the UK as a 2.7. There is no type number in the usual place. There are 2 engine numbers (both the same) - one on the fan tower and one at the rear next to the breather (was concerned that it was a 914 motor when I saw this) - number is 6025445. Understand the 6 is for number of cylinders ( check lol) and the 2 is for 1972. The type number 0 is confusing - any ideas?

Re-check the second digit. Should be either 1, 2, 3 or 5

Its definitely 0 JJ - I have checked and re-checked.

To confuse matters more both numbers actually start with a D

Wild guess here, but you may have a factory replacement case. I've never seen a "0" in the second digit location either, but the "D" and the beginning makes me think a replacement. To me, that would make sense as the factory wouldn't know what type of engine would be built using the new case so it's just stamped with a "0".

Is there a * (star) stamped before and after the engine number?

no there are no stars

there is no type number in the usual place either so agree that likely a replacement case

Well, the car serial number (10 digits) could tell you if it was for the US market or not.

its a South African car imported recently to the UK

Could you guys offer me any help on what the 6451413* engine number means? It is in a 1975S which I think is the right model year for this number.

6451413 is type 911/43 for a 1975 911S US market car
