Engine # help
I bought an 1982 SC recently but it has a Cab engine. Can someone tell me what year/model this engine is from? #64C1870

81-82, 3.0

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
While the engines were the same, according to my mechanic and to my driving instructor, we can tell the engine was from a cab due to a shock absorber on the engine mount. |

If your 81-82 engine has a cab bracket, it was a mod as the Cab (and the damper fitted bracket) started in 83. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1318159298.jpg |
Oh cool. Thanks for that info. Then I bet I have the original engine with a vibration damper added as you suggest. What benefit does reduced vibration in terms of performance?
By the way, JJ 911SC, is that a pic of your engine? Impressive... |

Thanks. Yeah, a few $$$$ and 5 months of not riding :D:):D Back to the performance, If your car is a coupe having a damper will not do anything. The damper is to limit the effect of the flex of the cab, on the engine. What year/model is your car? |
Mine is a 1982 911 SC. Been through a couple owners but we can trace it back to an owner in New Mexico. 72k mi.
I wonder why a previous owner may have put the damper on? |
Well, the engine has travel, before fitted in your car.
The only way you can confirm that it is the original fitted engine, is to get a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche ($110). If its a Targa, one of the PO might have think he could make it more rigid. |
Hey JJ what does this mean? "Well, the engine has travel, before fitted in your car."

Sorry about the typo; I should have said "may have travel". If you get a CoA and the engine does not match it mean it could have been fitted in a cab at one point. If it match the CoA, now you got to find out where/why it was fitted. I think it would be worthed to spent that $110. What month was the car produce (on the door VIN sticker). |
