I converted my '73 to a six but I have what I think is the original engine. Can someone tell me how I find out if the 2.0 engine I have is the one that came with the car originally? Do I have to get a COA from Porsche?
And, where is the serial number on a GA engine? Attached thumbnail(s) |

From I have been hearing Porsche will no longer put the engine number on the COA unless you give them engine number that matches their records. Don't know about over the phone though.

That is correct Brett, They required me to email a pic of the GA# for my 73 2L to put it as a 914-2.0 on my COA at all, & that was back in 2009. They said it was because there are so many 2L conversions, that they want to keep correct for those of us who have actual factory 2L 4's.

I just sent my COA app in last week and included engine and trans # on the form. There wasn't any mention of requiring pics. Wondering if I should follow up with them or just wait for them to contact me if they need more info. Sorry for the hijack, but it seems relevant to the topic. |

Pics were not requested for my COA either, just the GA #on the COA order form was sufficient. |
