    Need opinion, what is this twin plugs engine?

    Hi all,
    Can you please give your opinion on this engine?
    We found it from the old Porsche garage in Bangkok.
    At the first glance, the engine number 6631274 doesn't look original to me.
    The 6631274 is the engine from 2.7RS which I don't think this engine is.

    It has the Merelli distributor and the Bosch fuel pump that missing all the plate numbers.
    It has a set of 2.2S velocity stacks. I believe some one might have installed it later on.
    The engine is now disassembled, I will try to post many pictures that show part number.

    We really appreciate your help.

    Do you want to sell any of the pieces? The flywheel or distributor? How about a picture from the front

    Burint,

    The Bosch pump on the last picture looks interesting - really no numbers on it?

    Cheers,
    Christian

    If the number on the engine really is 6631274, (and i saw that is what is stamped into it but the stamping may not be factory) it would be from an RS that was in that part of the world to start with - a RHD lightweight 9113601305 delivered to Hong Kong.

    Therefore, given the other interesting parts on it, especially what looks like an RSR fuel pump, i would not ignore the possibility that this originally came from #1305 although it has been heavily modified along the way.

    Sorry, I couldn't post all pictures last night.
    I could not get through early S website until now.
    HughH,
    It's true that many nice cars were imported to Bangkok from Hong Kong back then.
    My 86 930 was one of them.

    The blue liquid is the diesel fuel.
    We were told by the older mechanic that it can be used on magnesium cases.
    What's your thoughts on that?
