Can someone tell me which year and size this motor is,
6400830
Thanks for any help and wisdom.SmileWavy

just a bump, hoping for the daytime crowd.:D

Looks like a 1980 3.0 litre from a USA/Canada 911 SC.

TOm

According to the 'Porsche Family Tree' book that engine Serial Number belongs to a 1970 914/6; 110HP @ 5800 rpm.

Hope this helps.

are you sure it's 640 .. . and not 64D. . .?

64D0830 would make it a 1982 US spec 3.0.

Go with Toms answer. . .my book may be missing 1980 info.

or from a 1980 911SC, 172 HP @ 550 rpm as Tom points out

Jordi is close. It is actually from a 1969 914/6

1969 Coupe 914.6 Engine numbers 6400001-6400889
6404001-6405781

There should be another number just forward approx. 3 inches and on a horizontal surface. Look closely, use a bright flashlight, its small and hard to locate. They are a bit smaller than the ones you found on the vertical surface. Should be something like "930/03" in that format.

It may be a "d", I checked it late last night in my garage with a light as best I could. Bought the car with the impression it was a 3 litre , (thats what the owner, a movie studio, told me) the guy did not know much about Porsches though, didn't even know how to open the gas tank,, Just came from stuttgardt southwest, his impression was a 79 to 83 3 litre, had me worried about the 2 litre part for a minute though, although it would be awful strong for a 2 litre and it also has the late model injection on it. Thanks.

PS, bought the car for 8,800 what do you think?

8,800 -- I think I want to see some pict's. What year car is it?
Lets have some jucie details.

Kurt, Kurt ... there weren't any 1969 914's! First were '70 models built in the fall of 1969! They were the entry-level replacements for the 912 ...
