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.
