Engine Decoding

I have a 79 911SC. Ibought the car as a rolling chassis project. After a couple of years I purchased an engine for it. I have had installed and was driving it last summer. I decided to go to carbs on it instead of the CIS injection that started giving me headaches. Currently during the carb install, I started research to see what size I should make the intakes and started runing engine code numbers. The engine coder says it's a 1980, and a U.S. spec engine. The wierd thing is, it is the large port CIS and the intake ports are 39mm instead of the correct 34mm. I guess there coluld have been some swapping going on, or work done, But the intakes seemed to be untouched. Has anyone ever ran into a similar issue when decoding their cars.
