6122116 is the number on the right of the fan shroud

Group size! That makes sense, thanks! When I put the scope down the first one and saw a weird mark I was worried it was damage! I was relieved when I saw the same mark on all of them.

Wow- what a find! Congrats.

If you’re parting out the 911, I’d love to know more about those rims, if you’re not going to use them- Always liked the 80’s BBS basket weaves!

I did end up selling the whole chassis with the wheels. That was always one of my favorites as well, I have a similar style (but not 3 piece) on my 914

Did the E engine have cast iron cylinders and a sand cast aluminum case? I had an E engine once and I think that was what deterred me from hotrodding it. Mine may have been a later E engine though so could be entirely different. I can't remember what color the shroud was.

I determined e from the mfi pump model, is that not correct? Not an expert by any means.

I'll be able to access engine type info by Friday

Did you get a chance to look it up? I am curious if the engine block matches the fuel system and shroud.

6122116 appears to be a 1972 E
If you look on the horizontal surface near the number you provided I think you'll
find the type number 911/51
A very nice engine indeed. Great find.
