Can some one explain, that I find most books, show 901/36 as the enging ID, how ever others say 901/38 is possible. But most all list the rare 2.7 engine as 901/38.
Question is 901/38 2.0 & 2.7? Or is 901/38 exclusively the 2.7?
I need to know!

I meant ID 6, confusion, not 3 obviously
Here is the explanation.....
I'm quoting this from pg. 60 of Bruce Anderson's Porsche 911 performance handbook:
"The 914/6 engine was the 901/36 for the European standard transmission, and type 901/37 for Sportomatic. The U.S. 914/6 engine was type 901/38, or type 901/39 for the Sportomatic."
Here is something I found interesting at the bottom of the same paragraph:
"A 2.4 liter version of the 911T engine (Type 911/58) was developed for use in the 914/6, but was never used in production."
