Rather than start a new thread I figured I would bump this one...

Found a 'long-block' and am getting conflicting info from the seller. Did plenty of searching and found this little breakdown

X = 1, 911, Type 911/41, (or Type 911/46 for Sportomatic)
X = 3, 911S, Type 911/42, (or Type 911/47 for Sportomatic)
X = 4, 911S/Carrera USA, Type 911/43, (or Type 911/48 for Sportomatic)
X = 5, 911S/Carrera California, Type 911/44, (or Type 911/49 for Sportomatic)
X = 6, Carrera 2.7 (MFI), Type 911/83
X = 7, Turbo 3.0, Type 930/50
Im a little confused because this one starts with a 640 ####

So is this a 1980 3.0 SC motor or a 1970 ...2.2 or something?

Case has 901.105.111.0R & 901.101.101.3R ...

Can anyone clarify this for me? I thought the 3.0 would've been a 930 on the case, not 901

Be kind, I've been a dreamer for too long and am finally trying to start collecting pieces to start building
