Porsche did not make a list public that has a connection between engine and VIN. And the emission information label in 74 was on the engine fan housing. I have heard you can call Porsche and they can look up info but you may have had to order a COA first, I don't know.
You say it has a non original engine, how do you know? What is in it now, engine, FI, Carbs? This is a long shot but depending in what has been done in the engine compartment you may find a clue. The 1.8 engine came with L-jet FI and they had a bracket for the Air Filter/Air Flow Meter that attached to the driver side inner long, the bracket would likely have left marks on the long if it had been there. Of course if the engine compartment has been repainted or something, probably not. Are you wanting to restore to original? Any year/size 914-4 engine can be put in any year 914-4, they are essentially plug & play. Good luck Jim |
