Posted by: pjhaun Jul 15 2005, 11:27 PM
Is there anybody in San Diego, CA. that would like to check out a 912 Porsche with a Buick v6 turbo engine for me?
The guys name is George Coffin. His phone number is 619-466-2250. He has pictures on ebay. But pictures never tell the truth.

Ddanque:
Thank You!!!!! for the info. I have not bid on the car. I was hopeing not to do too much work on it. But looking at the pelican parts forum tells a lot more than what he put on ebay. So I think I will pass on this deal.
Thank You Very Much Again!!!!!!!!!

there are MANY plausible, satisfactory explanations of what could have been done; make sure you get one...
interesting that he'll sell the engine to a 'wining' bidder - as opposed to a 'winning' bidder... so i guess you gotta grovel too...

that's just the casting number of the alternator shroud.
the engine serial number and Type Number are found on the right side of the case in the area of the crankshaft pulley.
the '901' number on the side of the case is the engine case casting number, and similarly not unique.
