Thread: 914-6 Original engine number source?

    914-6 Original engine number source?

    After many years of looking for one, a friend and I bought a 1970 914-6 from an estate. It is a pretty original car but the original engine was swapped for a 1971 911S engine long ago. So far the widow has provided scant paperwork so I don't know the original engine number. Now that Porsche will not provide the number unless you know it on a COA I'm not sure how to find out so we can look for it. Kardex's don't go past 1969 so that isn't an option either. Anyone know a way?

    Posting the VIN here would be a good starting place.

    Also post the 71S engine number. That could be a big start on funding your 914-6 refresh!

    Looks like a very nice Six. All I needed to do was request (and pay for) a COA from Porsche Cars of North America. Cost about $100 and it came showing my VIN, engine, and transaxle numbers when my car was built. Also, if you have not been referred to 914World.Com, that is an active 914 community with a lot of information that will help with all sorts of issues you may encounter. Again, looks like a very nice car. Cheers, Michael
