Porsche engine size help

Any idea what size this is? The posting says 2.7. My dad guessed a 2.0. I guessed 2.2. I had a 3.2 on a crate at one point, and it took up a lot more room than this one, it seems.

None of the numbers he gives at the end seem to be the engine code.

Adam - I may be wrong about this (what are the odds?) and if the seller is correct about the year of that engine ('70-71) then it is a 2.2L (unless they increased barrel size during rebuild).

Our notorious SOC member, Angela, can offer a better description.

I "think" this is a 70 2.2 911T engine. None of the numbers are fully helpful, but there are a few hints. In 70, the 911T had engine numbers from 6105001 thru 6107999. Yours is close, but no other number I can find include yours. Doesn't mean its not there, just means I can't find it.

That would also be an engine with 40mm Zenith carbs and a 225 mm clutch. The sellers info shows both those items.

This isn't 100% because I dont have the exact engine number to confirm, but preponderance of evidence indicates that it's a 70 2.2 911T. 125 horse, 130 lbs of torque. If you are going to go to the aggravation of putting a 911 engine in your speedster, step up to something more powerful.

Also, any porsche rebuild that is not coming with copious receipts or not in a car so you can drive it, must be viewed quite suspiciously. Steve and I did about $5000 worth of bodywork for a guy in trade for a freshly rebuilt 2.4 "S" engine. Turned out to be a "T" and full of rust... What a nightmare... Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Preponderance of the evidence... Thanks for that one. I lost a case this morning, and my client is getting kicked out of public housing because of it. Judge claimed that we didn't have a preponderance of the evidence.

I agree, a 2.2 would be a waste of time to install. I just found out his reserve is $2500. I'll be curious to see how the bidding goes since no one is "sure" of the displacement.
