Looking for case no. 6404425 for my vin no. 9140430507. If anybody knows where this engine is please contact me on here, thanks!


Hi,
Are you sure it's engine #4425 for VIN #0507? If so, that is the largest deviation below #0600 I've seen.
thanks,

Hi Dug

Here are the details of my car / I updated the world DB a few days ago as I hadn't checked the the engine # in my car & it wasn't recorded on the cars V5 registration document (pink slip?)

Chassis 9140432315 & case number 6405509, which match the COA I recently received. It's a US spec car BTW

Jon


Cool, another solid datapoint for the list. Your's is right in line with adjacent cars. Not that it means anything unless the COA matches, but somehow I like it anyway:)
Thanks!

Hi Johny,

Non-stock is awesome! I have a 3.2SS engine going in my six, but I also don't mind having the original block on the shelf:)

I have not seen #5211 appear while I've been tracking them since before 2008.

What's your VIN? … Nevermind, found it in the VIN db, #1921, less than 20 from mine:)

cheers,
dug

Hey Dug- yep, have no idea where #5211 is or if it still exists. Bought my six w/ a 2.7 already in it. It's been highly modified over the years & I like it a lot. I'd love to have my original engine on the side as you do but it appears that it's not to be. I'm afraid if I ever found my original engine I'd have to seriously consider putting the car back to the way it came from the factory. As it is, I don't & I like it. happy11.gif Below are 2 photos: how it looks now & how it's looked when it left the factory (borrowed a shot of an Irish Green six). smile.gif

I was cleaning up the motor out of 914043275 yesterday the case is marked 6404160 901/38 but the heads all have date stamps of either 11/71 or 12/71 and the casting # (I think that is what it's called?) on all six is K1819n. What do I have exactly? Did they just use later heads during a rebuild, or does it mean it is a 2.2 or 2.4? Or can I even tell from this info?

Both of my cars are confirmed matching nos.

I now have another car 9140432130 without orig. engine

Can you shed any light ?

You're missing an 0 in that VIN #9140430275:)
As you can see from the chart Luke posted, those are 73T CIS heads. The intake ports are smaller, but both the intake and exhaust valves are bigger than the original heads. Depending on if they ported them or not, they could breath better than the originals. Also, they would usually be used with an 84mm or larger cylinder, so you may have 2.2L (or even 2.4L if the crank was also upgraded) built on the original engine.

Hi Dug
I created the confusion.
I was suggesting that the first three digits might be 077 and the last is ?
Larry Lee also has 2128 with 0771
....but also.....2131 with 0773 !
Maybe the new owner of 2130 will get a COA and solve the mystery.
By the way, 2130 has trans 2114 ....seems right.
Is numerical sequence interrupted by Euro/US engine type ?
The car did have Euro rear lenses.

Don that guy said he got close to the selling price so your guess is as good as mine.

It did have some good bits on it, but I thought as a core it was overpriced. I understand the want for the correct numbers matching engine, but if it was my /6 all that low power lump would do is take up space on a skid in the corner.
It would have to be the absolutely correct numbers engine to warrant that space.

I trust it to be real.. So I won't waste the money on a COA.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the numbers...

6400748 is probably between chassis 1900 and 2100.
The factory won't release information about a chassis except to the owner, so it will be difficult. Your best bet is to post it here, which you just did:)

I've had a 914-6 engine, serial number 6404249 for about a dozen years. It's time to do something with this engine and ideally I’d like to put the engine and original car back together. Is there a 914-6 registry or some other way to determine if the original chassis still exists for this engine and the current owner’s contact information?

Hi Towarish,
Thanks for posting the link.

There isn't a list of 914-6 engine numbers, and you cannot ask Porsche to reverse look up the chassis for an engine, they only will tell you the engine number for your car via the COA.

I can tell you that with a low number like that it will be very close to the engine, but not exact still because of the different sequence for euro and US engine serials.
I have engine 4026 is in #36 and 4028 is in #48. So it's probably from chassis 37 to 47.
