There was a thread awhile back on engine serial # that helps explain what you have https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum...al-number.html
M96/03 means engine type
AT means remanufactured or austauschmotor
Next three are year it was remanufactured which may not match the year it was installed.
S means x51
66w is 1998
66x is 1999
66y is 2000
661-665 is 2001 - 2005
Last numbers are serial code.
The first '6' is the # of cylinders. The 2nd '6' means it is a normally aspirated engine (except for the Carrera 4 model engine in 1999). This '6' could be could be a '3' (GT3 engine), or '4' (turbo-charged 3.6l engine), or '8' (Carrera 4 N/A engine).
The 'Y' is the year of engine manufacture. 'V' is 1997, 'W' is 1998, 'X' is 1999, 'Y' is 2000, then digits are used starting with '1' which is 2001.
My info is the remanufactured engines retain their original serial numbers.
M96/0268X06609
M96 02 engine type
Not a reman engine which would have AT
66X - 1999 (I suspect you are seeing an 8 and it is actually a 6)
6 cylinder/normally aspirated
So I would say you have a 99 3.4L engine, more than likely with a double row IMSB (very low failure rate). Live and let live!!
