Engine numbers

[blue bus]

I have purchased a porsche 911 engine to install in my VW bus. Can anyone help me decipher the engine numbers? i would like to know year of manufacture ,HP , that sort of thing. The numbers are 6107980 and 70 911T ( 911/08 sporto).
These are the numbers the seller gave me i won't have the engine until tomorrow.
Cheers

1970, 2.2 liter, 125 HP (DIN) at 5800 rpm
The engine serial number indicates that it did come from a Sportomatic transmission car.

Thanks for the info.
That should move the old bus along at a better clip.

You wouldn't happen to have a wiring diagram for that engine ..or know where i can get one?

As a relevant aside, my youngest brother bought a new ’72 Kombi with Factory Delivery. Meantime I had for him a very low mileage ’70T engine. I concocted the front oil cooler system from a wrecked ’69 911S and a ’70 type 911 5-speed. I even did a valve job on the engine and up-dated the tensioners and ramps. I swapped the Zeniths for a pair of IDA Webers. The plan was to install all this on his return to the States.

As plans go, he wanted money. So I sold the stuff.

The engine went into an almost-new Signal Orange ’70 914-6 that I had bought for $900. Someone had tried to put 910 cams in the 2.0T engine. When they cranked it, it broke all the rockers from the high lift valves hitting the pistons. I bought the car with the engine in place but pistons hanging out of the case.

With the 2.2T engine, it was a screamer (relatively speaking). I drove it for about a year and sold it well prepared for $6500 to a kid in Vail. Here it is circa Feb. 1971.


(Note the '69 911S Targa.)

About a year later he came down from the mountains and sold it back to me for $500. Only a little worse for the wear repainted bule and a primer passenger door and now about 23K mi.

Here it is at a RMR PCA Icekana on Georgetown Reservoir in about ’75. (the tires are XWX with 198 3/8 “ bolts each)’







I still have it with 43K mi.

After many engine transplants (perhaps 20+) it has a ’73 911S MFI with 2,8 RSR P&Cs. There are other threads with its exploits. It will live on as a really nice street hot-rod Porsche street car. Even Professor Earnst Furmann drove it, validating the Porsche KG nameplate.

Sorry for the distraction.

Lets have images of your 'blue bus' project. I can help with wiring, plumbing and more.

Best,

Great car, it looks like a lot of fun.
Love the ice tires.
If you could help me with the wiring that would be great.
The harness has 13 wires as follows.
1- grey/ red stripe
1- green /red stripe
1- light brown
2 - black different gauges
2- grey /light brown
1- heavy gauge red
1- red / black stripe
1- heavy gauge yellow
1- blue / yellow stripe
1- blue
1- purple / black stripe
i would send pics but apparently they are two big and i am not computer saavy enough to down size them.
