I have a friend who has an original 914-6 engine with tins and carbs for sale and thought I would put the info out. It would be nice to see this engine go back into a 914-6 where it belongs. He wants 3K for it and if you are intertested email me here on the 914 world site or email me at ronniejcarr@yahoo.com

Do you have the engine number?


There's quite a few /6 owners looking for their original engine ...

I have the numbers for the engines. One engine has tins and carbs and the other does not have cooling shroud or carbs. The engine numbers are 6404766 and 6405232.

both 1970 914/6 engines. 901/37 Should have Weber 40 IDAs.

Slits, One engine does not have the carbs with it, why I don't know. If you want to talk to the owner let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thank you anyway ... mine has a 2.7L in it and I have a 3.0L on the shelf. 110 hp 2.0L are a bit anemic for my taste. I would hope someone on this board needs engines in the range that you have access to.

What sort of condition are they in? Recently running or cores or boxes of parts? I am just trying to get a feel for the value of these engines.

Not intending a total thread hijack, but mine is #6405632 and also will likely be for sale soon. Not stock (quasi 2.2S) and is in good running, freshly serviced condition, sitting here in a crate.

Edited the title to include "FS:" and moved to the classifieds.

Interesting, how do you decode the engine number?

Posted by: Al Meredith Jan 20 2010, 09:16 AM

just for reference: My 6 is #1937 and the engine # is 6405237

You buy Wayne Dempsey's book ..."How to Rebuild and Modify Porsche 911 Engines". Each year has specifics on the Serial Number and Type. The number only tells you how it left the factory ... not what's been done to it in 40 years.
