Porsche was not sloppy with engine numbers on production cars. If it was a 1974, it came with a 1974 engine. You can verify the original engine number with a COA. Note that the 1974 2.7-liter North American engines were much better than the 1975 versions as they didn't have the thermal reactors. And yes, a replacement engine typically hurts the value.
