Hello Fellow Pelicans,

I have a stupid question!!

How can tell what "type" of engine my 1978 911SC ROW has?

FYI:

Engine serial number: 6380431

Thanks in advance and have a good holiday,

Regards,

Skip

I think you're looking for 930/XX. I would highly recommend getting Paul Frere's book, The Porsche 911 Story, available here:

I have this book and it has that info but it's not in front of me.

For the 930/XX number look to the right of the fan schroud by the oil pressure sending unit. It is stamped on the case.

Bill, I definitely believe you! I just thought from his post that he was looking for the actual 930/XX number. If my post implies that your information is wrong, I must have worded it incorrectly, because I did not intend that.

I guess i missed that

ok here it is
930/03

C3s were 930/02

Thank you for your responses.

I thought the my engine type was 930/03.

Bill, Did you confirm my engine type in "The Porsche 911 Story", by Paul Frere?

Thanks,

No, I have other more reliable sources.
