 What do the 9## mean?, Was there some madness to the numbering? |

519, split case transmission
644, 1st design "tunnel" type trans, 716 transitional transmission, 741 tunnel type transmission used in 356B and C cars 369, 506, 527, 546, 528, 616, 589, 4 cylinder pushrod engines. Some of these had a number of subgroups, identified by "/x". 718 RSK 718 F2 car, essentially an RSK with the seat in the center. 930 is more properly the engine series from which the 3.0 Carrera, the 911SC and the 911 Turbo developed. PCNA (or whatever they were called in 1975) used the number in it's marketing efforts, but the car is officially the "911 Turbo". Some numbers, like 021 and 022were adopted VW series numbers. I think "039" was a Porsche only designation for the 2 litre aircooled pushrod T4 motor. "039" has since reappeared in the VW system, but it refers to a water cooled engine. The Cap'n |
