Hi All,

Excited to be a new 911 owner (AU delivered 1975 ice green Sporto 911 Coupe)! The engine (or at least the fan housing) has been changed to a US 911S (engine # 6270894). So I'm looking for the original 2.7L engine with number 6159051.

EDIT: I finally confirmed the matching engine number with Porsche, but still need to find the actual engine please.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Scott

Very nice looking car that one. Congratulations.

Do you know who did the engine change? Perhaps they still have the original? My old sporto had a similar change to a US engine and I believe the original block was still at the specialist who did the rebuild.

Unfortunately I don't know the actual engine number, so I can only narrow down the first 4 digits (confirmed that far at least). 

Porsche should be able to tell you the original engine number your car shipped with.  Worth a call to QLD roads to see if they'll tell you if that engine number is currently registered.

For a few years now Porsche won't give out engine numbers due to reports of fraud. I guess counterfeit re-stamping of engines.

QLD/NSW roads won't let you lookup by chassis number. I have to go into a branch and make a case to the officer. That's Plan B. When it was on ACT roads it had already had the engine change, so it's 5+ years ago that it was done.

Porsche gave me my engine number from my chassis number along with all the options from factory - that was only 12 months ago.

Sorry to be specific, if the engine number you provide:

  • Is matching: they will confirm matching and put on the certificate
  • Is NOT matching: nothing gets told or put on the certificate

Did you have the matching number already or did they just provide it?
