Hi all,
A post on the bird board got me thinking about compiling a list of "out of car"
factory engines and that we might be able to help some of these engines find their way back to the original chassis.
So,here is the place to post those 640/641 engine serial numbers out floating around. I think serial number and last whereabout should be good.If you have an engine for sale,post in the f/s section and I will copy it to the list or you can add it.
Thanks,
John

good job. Now if you are as tenacious as Jeff Bolsby was with the Limited Edition research, you will contribute much to the community!!

Thanks George, that is setting the bar pretty high,but I think with all the great folks in this community we can make a pretty comprehensive list.

I've got case number 6404495 sitting on a shelf here at the shop. It's for sale but not advertised anywhere.

The Cap'n

Thanks Krusty one

OK, I will add this to your list, I just purchased engine case 6414103 and will keep it unless/until I find my original engine, 6414135Click to view attachment.

It is a very clean case and I feel fortunate to have bought it for a fair price from Henry Schmidt at Supertec Performance in Fallbrook, CA. At least I now have a period correct case that is only 32 numbers off of my original case. Probably doesn't mean anything to anyone but me.

bump for new serial numbers and a reunited engine.

I have 6404278 which is now mostly in my car, and
6404140 which I believe is original to my car.

My engine in my 6r has been long gone. My COA says the number was 6400373.
Any one know where that engine is??????????

6400030 availeable in Finland. Is it original 914-6 engine?

should be a 901/36 engine - very early Euro 914-6 engine for a shifter

possibly belongs to a car between 914.0.43.0015 - .0045

Yes it's 901/36. Its box full pieces costing 1000€.

All,

I am new to the 914 World forum. I am a long time 914-6 enthusiast! I own 914-6 chassis #9140432353. It is missing its original engine and gearbox. The original motor number was 6405532. Porsche doesn't have the original gearbox number recorded. I would be interested in finding the original motor. Any help or leads would be appreciated! On the gearbox, if anyone would know around what gearbox number I should be looking for it would also be appreciated.

Thank You!

FOUND! But I can not afford it...

I found a motor of a 1971 sixer (6410XXX). According to Porsche records it came out of 9141430226.
There was an ad in 1983 Panorama :

Very nice that you took the time and effort to try to unite that car/owner with the original engine.

I have #6404362, as a bare case out of the engine. It's available if anyone wants it.

Freeman,

I own 9140432347 with engine #6400818 and gearbox #7502325, both original to the car. It's a euro spec six which explains the engine number, but the gearboxes, to my knowledge, were all the same. My VIN and gearbox numbers are 22 digits apart. Hope that helps you a bit. Welcome to the club.

Looking for engine 6405225. Believed to have swapped engines with a yellow 914/6 by a mechanic named Rich Camacho who had a shop in the in SF Bay area. I have the original engine to that car which is 6404377.

I was poking around in the barn and checked the numbers on an engine that I bought in the late 1970s to use to convert out first 914-4 to a six which I never did. I was told at the time that it came out of a 911t and it had 911 heater boxes an tin on it. The engine has been sitting under the workbench since. It is a 901/36, serial number 6405282 and located in Vermont.

Getting closer...

My missing motor, 6400373 has gotta be stashed under a bench somewhere in Germany...

I'm still holding my breath that it pop's up...

engine number 6405749 in mosier oregon,posted today on the bird board

642 0056 for sale in Austria.
In very good shape, will ask for the price.

I have engine # 6404160 and car # 9140430275 currently waiting (patiently) to be restored. What are the odds that this could be the original engine for this car?

Member DaveP could accuratley speculate, but a PORSCHE COA is a good place to start. Mine was accurate on the engine number for my 914/6. Some will say they are inaccurate. Mine was correct.
