I learned a bit more.
According to Jim at EASY who has been dismantling Porsche since before most of us could speak.... He said that the 914 motor is a 911T motor. The factory would grind off the engine number (a 911 series number) from the alternator tower and re-number the motors on the top of the case...again in the 914 location. That explains the funky marks I found on the alternator tower...I was starting to get worried that something was not right....but I guess that is what all the cars had done. Jim even claims to have seen a few that the remnants of the 911 series engine number were still a little bit visible...just one or two numbers. Rich |

The 914-6 motor is a 911T motor, but I had always been told they were 1969 left-overs that had not yet been numbered. A couple of years ago I had an un-numbered case that I traded.

Dunno, but I do love hearing these stories from some of the guys that were in business with 914's and especially the 356's....
The blank third piece of the case comes to mind...lots of stories around those. Rich |
