Default 944 & 968 Engine Codes?

Does anyone have or know where I can find a list of the different engine codes used in the 944/951/968 cars?

There is a detailed list of engine codes in pelican parts. If you look around the parts website you should be able to find an area with 944 tech info. Here are lists of VIN's and engine codes. I believe there 3-4 lists for the 944, 951, 968 etc grouped by model years.

I have detailed list of 944/951 (no 968 numbers) here. It is however tough to read due to RL formatting limitations

Are the blocks and heads both numbered and specific to a car? I'm asking specifically about the 968, but curious to know about the 944 as well. Thanks.

there's no direct tie between engine # and car VIN, but if you contact Porsche directly they can tell you the engine serial # that came in your car originally.

With this list you can roughly estimate, if your engine fits your car's built.


968 engine code


On my 968 cylinder head I only could find this specific number APU 7 21 15 -->but it is a rebuild cylinder head https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...-968-head.html

Thanks guys. So do you think the HEAD is not directly linked to a chassis?

Correct, the heads are not “matched” to the blocks/chassis with any serial number, however both have dates cast into them so if you swap an 88 head on an 87 block/car it would be obvious to anyone that it’s not the original head.
