Hello,

I got an extra engine in a recent deal that I made and need help figuring out exactly what kind it is. The engine number is 63D0635 any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

pors1968, thanks a lot! Can you tell me which manual you used to figure it out? I need to pick one up.

Thanks again

there is also a book called "the porsche 911 red book"

pick a copy up if you can, its very handy for stuff like this and pocked size too.

In addition of the Red book (pick it up for $5) the info also listed in Waynes's How to Rebuild and Modify Porsche 911 Engines Book.

Second from the button of this page: Porsche 911 (1974-1989) - Engine Rebuild Wizard - Page 1
