Hi Roger,
Yes, I have seen these photos before and the engine case is not original. The serial and type number fonts are completely wrong. Probably wouldn't have a 7R case either. All the other markings (VIN stamping, VIN tag, paint tag, transmission case, and production #) are original IMO.
Thank you for your response Brian,
I was astonished by those numbers...But i thought the serial engine numbers were close to the original ones, the 6, the 3... except for the stars.
Best regards
Paul
Just found this one for sale, no affiliation...

Anyone who has a real-deal good car is holding it or waiting for a LOT of money. The rest should be priced accordingly and commensurate with the BS you'll have to trudge through. Anybody have a dollar figure for BS?:D
"Original engine?" Why sure it is! :rolleyes:
"Ever wrecked?" Of course not :rolleyes:
"Chassis Swapped?[I]" That's not legal, we CAN'T do that!" :rolleyes:
Hello Brian
Indeed... that' s obvious!
I don't understand why some guys do that, it would be better let them blank instead those bad stamps...
On the positive side, they did stamp the engine with "AT" next to 911/83 to indicate it was a replacement engine. But, I agree, better to not stamp ANY number on a replacement engine.
I have seen similar (different) fonts on replacement engines, could it be that the factory stamped AT engines with a different font in order to differentiate between original and replacement?
