I'd say start with the serial number, that should tell you the year model.

The information should lie in the engine serial number if it is indeed a 3.0 Litre 911SC engine (1978-1983). L Series 911SC's1977-78 - (September of 1977 to August of 1978, are all 1978's) Serial numbers would start with: 6380001 6280001 6580001 6880001 Turbo M Series 911SC's 1978-79 6390001 6290001 6590001 6890001 Turbo In 1980 Letters go back to start with "A" A series 911SC's 1979-1980 6300001 6400001 No Us Turbo B Series 911SC's 1980-1981 6310001 6410001 No US Turbo C Series 911SC's1981-1982 63C0001 64C0001 No US Turbo D Series 911SC's 1982-1983 63D0001 64D0001 No US Turbo 3.2 Litre Carrera models beginning in September of 1983 Engine serial #'s for US would begin with 63E0001. Serial numbers are stamped on Fan side of engine, look on the right side of fan at approximately 4 O'Clock on the engine case upright you should see a serial number that starts with a Star and ends with a Star. Hope this helps, I should have more decoding info but most info is from VIN. Can't find my other book. Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
