That's a type 912 motor from 1969-71. Will this type 912 motor fit in a pre-1969 SWB 912 or do you need the longer wheelbase 912 from 1969? It looks kind of big.

i believe before the post with the pic of the casting number there was a post with just the casting number without a pic asking the ? does this number mean any thing or does this number mean anything to anyone ........
sound like another look what i have that you don't .......... or as others have said Playa reincarnated or perhaps VAGEEN pulled this motor for what was in the shed after the farmer shot at him?????????????? |

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. Quote:
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.

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.

Not buying it, I say it's a troll.
(sound of reclining chair, beercan opening, popcorn popping in the background)

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.
