    Post the number please. Several - including me - are in search of their matching engine.

    Hey Barwart, thanks for the spelling lesson, but not what I was looking for, save your energy the next time.

    A component of providing the most accurate estimation for the value if your motor setup is knowing its' components. If it has Webber carbs it would be less valuable than if it has Weber carbs. Yes, spelling matters.

    A recent Early 911S Registry list of cars shows that Chassis # 302580 has engine # 902639 and chassis # 302658 has engine # 902912 which may narrow down this particular engine's original chassis. Those are 1966 model year cars built in 1965. That's assuming--of course--that it had an original chassis. Engine numbers increase faster than chassis numbers so there have to have been quite a few spare engines.

    • Engines below 903069 have center-lubricated camshafts.
    • Engines over 901638 have a "12 volt" flywheel (as opposed to the early flywheels which have the same starter gear teeth as 6 volt 356s and VWs)
    • Engines between 900324 and 903359 would originally have had Solex carburetors with the second of three sets of jets (see page 55 of the little spec booklet)


    I don't know the going rate for a 901/01 engine, but I have to assume someone looking to buy an original-type engine for an early 911 wants the Solex carburetors. A recent post in a different thread in this forum suggests that US$ 7,500 for a full Solex setup would be a bargain so I suspect the Weber carburetors detract quite a bit from this engine's potential value. Carburetors designed by Porsche racing driver Mark Webber might be another matter...

    The "12 volt" flywheel probably doesn't hurt. 12 volt starters with 6 volt teeth are pretty scarce.
