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 |

still doesn't help in finding the chassis it goes to... except that it's a 1970 US manual car.
Funny...if you look at the link at the top of the page for '914 info' and look at Engine Numbers, it says a 901/38 is a 916 engine! |

still doesn't help in finding the chassis it goes to... except that it's a 1970 US manual car. Well, as stated above, you can narrow it down to a VIN range within '70 ... Looking through the VIN database, i found the following entries: Toolguy: VIN: 914.043.1617 Engine: 640.5022 You: VIN: ??? Engine: 640.5100 Aj Serrano: VIN: 914.043.1722 Engine: 640.5125 That puts your engine somewhere between 914.043.1618 and 914.043.1721. Toolguys VIN and Aj VIN are 105 apart. Their engine numbers are 103 apart. Using that as a guideline, the VIN for your engine should be right around 914.043.1697 ... 914.043.1696 was for sale in 2009 (by a member here): http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...amp;viewid=9810 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=91224 He indicates that he had a COA for the car, which should show his engine number! Contact him, i bet his engine number is within one or two of yours. 914.043.1697 was for sale online in 2001: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...mp;viewid=11540 914.043.1698 last know location is Switzerland (1998): http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...mp;viewid=11995 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
