Anyone able to provide info on an engine with a stamping of 901/38 and serial number 6404328?
It appears to be a big bore for either a 911 or 914-6 but I can't find where it fits in the vin/engine serial number range.

I guess that 640xxxx is a normal 914-6 engine from
1970

Correct, but to refine that a little it is a North American engine not Sporto
911/36 64y0xxx ROW
911/37 64y7xxx ROW Sporto
911/38 64y4xxx NA
911/39 NA Sporto
y = year (0, 1, 2)
if production exceeded 1000 engines it would roll up example 6405xxx for NA
916 engine series 63250xx

Reason I asked is that a couple of books list the 901/38 as a 2.4 engine (190hp) used in a range of 914's with vin's 91423300010-300020. Could this be a 9146GT power plant?

That VIN range is the 916
The books are incorrect.
