engine shroud color
after searching and reading all posts about engine shroud color and engine numbers I now believe that 911S's all should have red shrouds. Checking my numbers, 6341217 and 911/93, I seem (?) to have the S engine. But I have a slime green shroud! with over $30,000 worth of receipts from P.O. I don't see where the shroud was changed anywhere. is this the correct color shroud for a 74 911S? Not a big deal but I am curious.
found an informative site for checking chassis numbers and stuff: www.0-100.it/porsche/chassis/chassis_engl.html thanks for any info

Re: engine shroud color
With early 911s, it is my understanding that:
T cars: yellow shrouds; E cars: green shrouds; and S cars: red shrouds. A red shroud allows 7k rpm+ jaunts and adds about 12hp.  Regards, Kurt |

John,
In '74, the red shrouds were only found on the the two MFI engines, the ROW model's 2.7 Carrera and RS 3.0. The '74 US brochure showed the 2.7 CIS engine with a green shroud.

From The 1974 Factory Parts Catalog (USA/Canada models):
74 911 shroud is PN 911.106.901.06 (black) 74 911S shroud is PN 911.106.901.05 (green)  Jim

No differences in the shape - just color?
Hmm, think I've got a can of red spray paint around here somewhere... -Boyo ('72 911T) |

Green is orig. on my '77 CIS. Painted it ruby red[356 color]. Still in perfect shape after 20,000mi. Used acrylic urethane. Ruby Red is in blue/red area rather than orange/red area of guards red. Have paint code and name in Sherwin-Williams. I like darker reds.

For what it's worth, my 1975 911S has a slime green shroud too. From what I'm reading, it's likely that it's appropriate for the '74S.
