My original engine didn't come with the car. I've done some rough calculations based on data from the VIN database and personal communication with a local 914 owner whose VIN is fairly close to mine and has the original engine. Based on my calculations, my closest estimate of my car's original engine is EA0061577. I figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has a case that's within 9 of this number either above or below. If so, please let me know. The information would help me to refine my estimate of my car's original engine, and also in case one that's 'date code correct' comes up for sale.

Further refining my (statistically unreliable) logic, if the deviation is 18 engine numbers across 148 VINs, then that's an extra engine for every 8.2 914 VINs created (148/18). Given that mine and Swooshdave's cars are 22 VINs apart, then that would give a range of engine numbers of about 3 (22/8.2). So, and again this logic may be totally off, but, given this logic, the probable engine number of my car would be 576, 577, or 578.
