How to make sense of engine serial numbers
Anyone know where that website is that shows which engine serial #s go with what year and engine updates/changes
also, these are all the numbers on my 87 block
on the outer edge of the block near the bell housing
43D 0385
on the back side where the flywheel goes
"81 67"
49266

I have a booklet published by Porsche which gives an engine number decoder for the 924S and 944 and has a lot of other useful info. It is usually called the "Technical Specifications" manual. The engine number just gives very basic information like the engine capacity and production target (USA, Canada, RoW, worldwide, etc.) and serial number.
Based on the booklet I have, I think the 43D 0385 may be your engine number. Unfortunately my booklet does not cover the Turbo, but I know they have one for the Turbo.
I don't know what the other numbers mean.
