![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Okay so my father and I have been trying to figure out exactly what was factory equipment on our recent purchase of our 1974 911. We visited the http://middleyear911.com site and found that it has a 2.7 R.O.W. engine. "R.O.W - or "Rest of World" typically referred to engines destined for Europe"
I found that this engine has about 25 more hp over the normal 2.7 and 8.5:1 vs 8.0:1
Can anyone expand on what this engine is?
Thx!

Send the forum the engine serial number and the 911s chassis number/VIN. Then it can be determined what you should have and what you do have.
Ciao,

911C4
PS: Please read engine serial number from the actual engine.

The next is a number right above the last serial given:
911T/911S CID 163,9 Engine Family 1
V.I.N. #
9114 103 776
Any help as to what this designates would be greatly appreciated.
THX!

I think the normal 2.7's in North America were 8.5 compression. My 77 911S Targa owner's manual lists the compression at 8.5.

Thanks Bill!
Nice to know what I have now. R.O.W. would have been nice, but thats okay. We plan on dropping in a 3.0 at some point down the line regardless.
150hp sure seems like a lot more while driving it. Maybe because I am more connected to the road vs my bimmer, the somewhat heavy luxury cruiser. haha
