Guys, thank you very much for you input so far (Tim, Wayne, Clarke, Schmidt, Roger 911, rw7810).
Host, the following are the specifications:
Engine serial number from the fan housing: 901 106 101 5R
Engine serial number from rt on top of the valve covers(left and rt): 901 105 111 0R
Transmision serial number: 915 301 1020R
Oil cooler by BEHR: F8 then 901 107 041 02
Carb: Zenith 40 TIN 911 108 123 00
DEUTSCHE VERGASER GMBH & CO KG MADE IN GERMANY
I tried to cross reference the engine serial number with Peter Morgan's spec chart and came up with nothing.
I decided that the serial number from the fan housing could have came from anything. So I made the laborious task of taking the carb/engine shroud and fan apart b/c I have read somewhere that the serial number might be behind the fan somewhere. Well, I took the fan out but couldn't find the number.
Back to square one. I then saw from the body/engine restoration book that the serial number might be underneath the engine case next to the round engine drain cap. However, the heat exchanger are in the way right now.
I am currently at a lost. Any help/recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
Overall, from what I have read from all of you. I am tempted to leave the 2.4 Piston and Cylinder and try to take it into an S rather than taking the 2.7 conversion. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
As for some of your comments on Motor Meister, thank you. I originally planned to ship it out to them to do the work. Now I am guessing and having second thoughts.
Wayne, I read somewhere that you are also writing a book on the three series. Can I please ask you to also cover a 1998 M3 sedan. I just picked this up a couple of months agos and am very happy with it but can't find any good engine book on it. As for a compare between the m3 vs 911, my opinion is that they shouldn't be compared. Each is great in their own way.
