Hello! I am new to the 914 World. I recently purchased a 1970 914-6 believed to be an original 'dealer installed' M471 car. The motor is a period correct 2.5L Twin Plug with original 46IDA Weber Carburetors. The engine is believed to have been with the car since it left the dealership. The chassis has been stiffened, the car has 'S' calipers, drilled rotors, KONI adjustable suspension, 10K tach, Scheel driver's seat, and lots of other rare goodies. The COA lists FINLAND PACKAGE and LIGHT METAL WHEELS as some of the options. I am curious if there are any tell-tale signs I should be looking for in order to establish pedigree. Any idea what the Finland Package is?

Every 911 engine ever made is potentially a twin plug.
The numbers you provided are casting numbers and only tell what era of block it is. Are there any numbers on the right vertical fan support ? If none, it is a replacement block OR a 914/6 block. A 914/6 block would have the numbers at the flywheel end of the block next to the oil thermostat. Are there type numbers on the horizontal surface to the right of the vertical support ? A type number would typically be 901/ xx , 911/ xx or 930/ xx A 914/6 engine is 901/38 a factory twin plug is a very rare, unusual, and expensive engine. |
