    Found the original engine case to my 1969S

    I bought my 69S last year that was at one time posted on this board by a fellow member. The first miracle happened when I located the owner from early 1980 to 2014 and he had the original MFI set up and he sent it to me.

    Now I have found the original engine case in a car located in the state my car originally came from. It has been in this car for 20 years. I had to buy the whole car to get it and with the help of a fellow member from the Pelican board we have confirmed the engine number.

    The engine has less than 12,000 miles since rebuild by a reputable Porsche shop so that is an added bonus. Will be pulling both engines out and swapping short cases.

    I have helped reunite a few 60's muscle car engines in the past but never thought I would be so fortunate.

    In order to secure my 69S original case I had to buy the car it has been residing in for 20 years or so. The car is a 914-6 conversion and it just got delivered today. Hopefully start the process next month.
