Check this out.
I'm getting my car soon. I understand the engine is original and I'm trying not to pester the seller, so I decided to figure out what engine-serial number I should expect to see when I get the car. So I went to the registry. I found cars made before, and after my cars VIN and the owners listed their engine numbers. (Bless them!). But here's the thing: The engine number for the car made before mine ended with #38664. The engine number for the car made after mine ended with #38336. Both owners believe these to be original engines, and it makes sense they would be original since the numbers are so close together. So unless the fine folks at Porsche were numbering engines backwards, they weren't exactly putting the engines in the cars in numerical order. Perhaps they were made in batches, or during assembly were just pulled off of a pallet. So it may not be feasible to dead reckon an engine number for your VIN. Mclovin |
