Help with engine # decoding...
 

hey pelicans, i'm trying to decipher the engine code for my transplanted 3.6. the engine blocks says "64F01578". can anyone help with what F means?

6 = 6 cyl.
4 = type 4
F = ???
01578 = serial number

What 911 is this from? I ask as the letter after the first two digits refer to the model years. For the 964 this went from letter L to letter R.

Someone with more knowledge than I on G50 911's will chip in maybe but if taking F as the 100% model year then it suggests the block case is an early G series - as in 1973/74?

64 is a US 3.2 carrera and F would be a 1985 with engine designation 930/21
what is the engine designation number on that case ?
Maybe its just the picture but those numbers look a little funky to me

ok i’m an idiot, lol. pic i posted was from another motor (a 3.2). i just snapped this photo and looks like it’s from a 1993 964.

Yes it should be a M64/01
