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 |

I've keep an eye on vin vs. engine numbers for years. . like I said before, there was nothing consistent about the match, just enough to give us an idea about what is expected. . . What I've noticed is that the engines remain within a 50 number range. . I can imagine the factory with a bunch of engines coming in from the engine assembly and Hanns just picking the closest one to shove in a body. .
Brads car and mine were probably built on the same day, with our Vins 19 apart and the engines 14 apart, although in the wider direction, but still within the 50 number range I mentioned. |
