Porsche Crest What engine do i have?

Ok, I am very new to Porsche's, Ive had mine less than a year, but even worse im new to cars. Its my first car and i'm very young and inexperienced so please bear with me as I will have many "simple" questions coming to this thread.

I restored my fathers 78 sc converted turbo look. The engine and transmission were ruined so my mechanic found a 3.2 engine and 915 transmission which he thinks is '86 and from germany (231 hp version). But he was never positive. How can I verify this without taking it out? Would the number on the fan housing give me enough info? How much power do I lose if the muffler etc. is still sc? And I read sc is 200 pounds lighter, is this correct?

Help always appreciated
Thanks
Nick
