Is there such a thing as a '68 S engine?
 
If so what would be the serial # range?
I thought that only a 911 and 911L where offered in 1968.

Yes but I think it wasn´t available in the US

check this link out

the source I use lists the 68+69 'S' engines together from:
6390001 -6392126
hope this helps

edit : sorry, I was looking at the manfactured date, not the model year

Bill numbers are for 69. 68 were 4080001 to 4081549 , both were only available originally in Europe

The 68 911 S was not available in the US due to emissions controls not being on the car. The Engine numbers are 4080001 to 4081549.

I have the 1968 Road & Track review of the car from my Dad's magazine collection. As I remeber, the "S" did not meet the emissions specs at idle..

"Is there such a thing as a '68 S engine?"

Yes, it's the same engine as the 67' S (2.0L With Weber 40 IDS Carbs)

Type: 901/02 Serial numbers start at: 408 0001
Also Type: 901/08 Serial numbers start at: 418 0001
