It was not in the 911 Redbook but it was in Wayne's rebuilding engine book and in the link below.

I'm sure some 914 guys will love to have it.

The engine serial for 80 model started with 63 (N.A.) and 67 (Turbo).

6400847 could be from a 1980 USA delivered SC but you need to check the engine type number--it should be 930/07. Given the car it is in (1980 SC), that is the most likely identity of the engine, IMO.

Yes it is a 930/07

Oops, I miss that in Wayne's book and I do wear glasses...

As per L.J. 930/07 #6440001-on in a 1980 SC (USA)
