Ah, the plot thickens!

I just learned that for the US market there was a something called a 911 T/E

It appears that I have one of those. A T that was delivered with mechanical fuel injection for the US market in early 73.

So, I have a T that is also E.

Further, my spare motor is a 911/51 engine, a 2.4 911T-E for USA mechanical injection.

So, not only do I now know that my car is something other than a run of the mill T, (but perhaps not quite an E), I happen to have a motor that just happen to have an engine on the shelf from this same sort of model.

Meanwhile, the motor in the car is a 930/02 which I know is also somewhat unique.

Lots of surprises here.
I wonder if the 2.4 is from the right date range?

Car is 9113101168 T-E
2.4 motor is 6131190 (type 911/51 T-E)
Do I have a match?
