As in...
If you know the engine number, can you figure out what chassis it belongs to? I see people looking for specific engine cases that match up to their cars (914/6 specifically) and I'm curious how you find that out? TIA |

6405100 is 78 engines later than mine
From what I've seen with other numbers, the engines weren't always put in in a consistent exact numerical pattern. . By adding 78 to my numbers, I'd estimate your body vin number would be about 914043 1695 or a Karman body ID of 131735. . . On my Six, the trans number matched the Karman trunk stamping number identically My Six is Karman [trunk stamping] ID 1657, vin is 1617, trans is 1657 and my original engine is 5022. . . The trunk stamping is dead center in the trunk pan, about 6-8 inches above the trunk latch. The hole in the picture is the spot for the center screw for the muffler shield. Attached image(s) |

From what I've seen with other numbers, the engines weren't always put in in a consistent exact numerical pattern. . yup - you need to know, that there were (4) different engine types in model year 1970 + 71 901/36 - Euro 914-6 with manual transmission 901/37 - Euro 914-6 Sportomatic 901/38 - USA 914-6 with manual transmission 901/39 - USA 914-6 Sportomatic all engine types had their own running numbers this is why very early cars might have close running numbers at VIN and engine number, but very late cars big differences |
