It is “kind of big”. It is a type 692 Carrera engine, not a type 616 from a 912.

Any 912 configured type 616 engine will fit in any 912 car. The 912 configured type 616 engine will also fit in any 356, if you change the 3rd-piece of the casting (you can leave it original and mod the tin.) You cannot fit an engine from a 356 (even a type 616) to a 912 car without changing the 3rd-piece of the casting.

Incidentally, a type 912 engine is the 12-cylinder commonly found in a type 917 car. It won’t fit in a 912 car.

Please read my posts above.






It would nice if all the skeptics and other drivel would delete their posts.
I’m sure uber gets the message.
If I were uber, I would run away from this forum.
Unless proven otherwise, I assume everyone who posts a question here is sincere.
That is particularly true with a new member.

If given the opportunity, Bill Doyle, myself and some others can answer uber’s questions.

Others on the forum just might learn something.

Best,
Grady

As a completely unneeded subplot to this thread, I see that the $127,500 Carrera 4 engine that's for sale has K&N air filters in it. Knowing the debate that swirls around K&N's here, either that guy is plain crazy or that's the most decisive vote for K&N's I've ever seen.

Unfortunately my post is enshrined in YOUR post, so sadly I couldn't delete it if I wanted to. Which I don't, since I was responding to Jeff Higgins and not Uber, a person who I have no reason to believe is anything but a sincere person with a priceless Carrera motor and a PM Box full of friendly advice from the pure-hearted altruists who inhabit this noble discussion board...

I would have thought that that type 912 motor would fit better in the SWB 912. More rear overhang. As Professor Simon Peach said to Charlie Croker: "I like 'em big!"

When I first opened this thread, I had no idea what a Carrera 4 cam was. Then I saw a picture of the motor, and I practically shat myself. It just *looks* like something weird, wonderful and wild. Really interesting to do the research and find out what a gem it is.

Too bad it looks like this "Uber-thread" is going to die quick but painful death.

He may be a "troll" but we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Uber" Chime in with more photos and information.
There are lots of guys here who want to help but they need more info to do so.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt yesterday.
When I read this thread again today, I don't anymore.
I gave Playa the benefit of the doubt too, for about five minutes.

Time will tell.

I don't care if this thread is fake or not. I think it is cool to see the 4-cam photos and hear what Grady has to say about working on them. Its not costing me anything and if it starts to go somewhere I do not like, I can stop reading.

Oh, and Jeff, I know what kind of engine you have there. You have Wayne's engine.
