I am reviving this thread because of Grady's curious reaction ("Whoa, please confirm the number"), and something that appeared in the
For Sale forum.
Clearly, that engine# struck a chord with an acknowledged expert. Now look at the For Sale links below:

It appears the seller isn't too familiar with Porsches and probably made a simple mistake listing the same engine for both cars--that's not my point. My point is the engine# being
one digit away from the one posted on this thread.
Grady's comment makes me think the engine, 6401364 could be something special. The engine in the ads is one digit away. It seems that other numbers are required to confirm the uniqueness of 6401364 but it was never clarified in this thread what the other numbers would determine.
Could someone post what may be special about
either engine, and what other numbers would confirm that uniqueness?
