The car doesn't have the original engine or trans. How would in know exactly what motor it had originally?

Also the 6th digit is a 0 which decides to:
0 - 911 Coupé, 924
1 - 911 Targa, 924
2 - 911 Coupé (Karmann)
3 - 914/6, 924
4 - 924

What's the difference between a 0 or a 4 on the chart above?

Sorry i know this is a real newbie question, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
Welcome, newbie.

Sounds like you may have a 1975 US Carrera - the VIN would be 911540XXXX

That would have the 4 in fifth position... The 6th digit indicates coupe.

The factory can tell you the original engine number, but it would start with 645XXXX
