If an engine case has been replaced, then automatically it is no longer numbers matching.
If an engine has had work do, especially a full engine rebuild, then take nothing as given. For this car you will need several engine photos, and get part #'s off of the major components. Example, the MFI injection pump has a few numbers, all of which are important. The more the car deviates from original, the lesser the value. You really need someone with the expertise to evaluate the car properly.

I would appreciate it if someone can help-> I have a 1976 911 vin# 911 630 1689 with engine number 6373208 - 911/81. I'm not sure if the '76 engine has been replaced with a '77 and not sure why the technical spec book states "Starting with 2001 = engine type 930/54 (Turbo model 1977 Japan)

9116301689 is a 1976 911 for ROW (that is not for North America).
6373208 is 911/81 for 1977 ROW
The date mismatch definitely means the original engine has been replaced. I can find the original engine #.
I don't have the Turbo serial ranges at hand, but that appears to be a split serial range.

1980 911
 

Hello, new to the forum. Reviving a thread. Have a new to me 1980 911. It was represented as a Euro car. It has broken head studs and I'm researching what engine and specifically the cam timing adjustment. My Bentley does not seem to cover these engine numbers. Vertically the number is 6300987. The number in the horizontal casting is 930/09. Any information including where to find the actual specs would be appreciated. I hope posting to this thread vs starting a new thread is proper. Thank you in advance. Mark

Engine #: 6300001 to 6304831

Matching Chassis Serial #: 91AO130001 to 91AO134831. The 3 is for RoW.

8.6:1 compression ratio
188 hp @ 5,500 RPM

Matching Transmissions: Type 915/62 (5 speed)

Dave (djpateman) might have more info.

Thank you. My post had to be approved, so in the mean time I found the cam timing in Bruce Anderson’s book. Height of overlap at TDC is 1.4 to 1.7 mm for the 78 to 80 ROW SC. Plan is to measure prior to tear down. Thanks again. Mark

This site is very good for chassis numbers engine models and numbers. Simon's Porsche 911 SC Site

Bookmarked, thank you.

964 Motor
 

I have a 964/3.6L motor I bough years ago from this guy that past away shortly after , not sure what year it is,89 or 90.
Here are the #s Vertical * six two L five one five four one* Type M 6A/02

Thanks for your help!

90, M64/02 fitted to Carrera 2 with Tiptronic

Rather than start a new thread I figured I would bump this one...

Found a 'long-block' and am getting conflicting info from the seller. Did plenty of searching and found this little breakdown

Im a little confused because this one starts with a 640 ####

So is this a 1980 3.0 SC motor or a 1970 ...2.2 or something?

Case has 901.105.111.0R & 901.101.101.3R ...

Can anyone clarify this for me? I thought the 3.0 would've been a 930 on the case, not 901

Be kind, I've been a dreamer for too long and am finally trying to start collecting pieces to start building

a 640xxxx serial with a 101.3R case half should be a 1970 2.0 914/6 engine case.

Thanks! A 914-6 is missing its engine!

An old question but 3.0 Carreras are CIS. MFI Carreras are 2.7, and they finished in 1976

I’ve seen several posts regarding decoding a 1977 911S. My engine code is 6271204: research shows that ‘2’ means a U.S. model. Question I have is 2 for all 50 states or 49 (minus CA)? I ask because with respect to timing the owners manual gives one setting for US and another for CA. The gold tag on the engine fan housing only gives a setting 15 ATDC (which happens to be CA). Only reason I can think of is that by 77 all engines conform to CA ? Also the car has a stamp saying non-catalytic car. Any help is much appreciated!

Experts, I am new to this thread, Need help on my engine Stamp on my ROW. (Japan, imported via the UK)

The car is an 78 SC RS/R Homage,

also there is some stamp on the under site near the oil pile:
J6/911.107.041.00

stamp under the engine stated 830 101 104 5R

I am not sure if the engine was replaced in Japan or the UK

Engine 6180002 (930/05, 2 of 304) was fitted in a 1978 Japan 911SC.

The chassis serial # should be between 9118309501 and 9118309804 (911 SC RoW)

Of note, there is no Porsche engine serial number that start with a "5"
