If its the early sandcast aluminum block the racers like to make hipo 2.8L sixes outta em. Mucho strong block since they are aluminum.

AFAIK, the early 2.0 cases are prized because they're aluminum, as opposed to the 68-69 case which was magnesium. Hot rodding a 911 motor is $$$, but easier on the aluminum cases.

905225 is a pretty early serial number, but I don't have my book handy.

how did I know you'd be all over it Trekkor,
yes it is a complete with carbs, funky air cleaner etc ....

The 65 originally came with Solex carbs. They worked, but not as well as Webers.

It the motor is complete, it sounds like a good deal. Or, you could resell it to some CW on the little-winkie list. If this motor comes with Webers, it's probably a sweet deal.
