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.

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

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..
