914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Help Identifying this engine number

Posted by: Cairo94507 Oct 12 2015, 06:54 AM

Hello, this is the engine I bought and had rebuilt for my Six. It is reportedly an '89 3.2, according to the seller Ben Merman (Pelican member). The serial number is 9301061024R. (Hoping that is the actual engine number and not the type number)

I am asking to verify the engine's heritage because Hartmut at Palo Alto Speedometer is working to make sure the speedo will work in my car since we swapped in a later electronic speedo. So can anyone decipher that engine number?

Thanks,
Michael

I'm not sure that's an engine number. Reminds me of the earlier engine half casing number.

Its a fan housing number off a 3.2

But the speedo drive is on the trans so I don't think the engine year will matter.

OK- Thanks to Scotty for the engine number and Mark for posting the chart. It is a '87 3.2. OK- should be fine. Given that the seller misrepresented several other issues re the engine, I had started to wonder about the year too. '87 is cool though.
Thanks guys.
