Porsche 911 1966 Used

The development of the Type 901/02 engine in the 911S marked a significant advancement with an output of 160 PS (120 kW). This 2.0-liter powerhouse propelled the 911 to the forefront shortly after the model’s debut. Even half a century later, equipped with its 5-speed dog-leg gearbox, it effortlessly maneuvers through modern traffic, a testament to its enduring technical prowess.

The original factory-installed engine was not in the car upon its purchase in 2013 from Finland and was replaced by a correct Type 901/02 911S engine with a serial number close to the original. This engine underwent a complete overhaul by Porsche engine expert Matthias Höing in Schenefeld, Germany, ensuring standard-sized crankshaft and cylinders. Additionally, Weber IDA (S) carburetors were installed, correct for the first 501 cars of the new 911S before transitioning to Weber IDS. The refurbishment of the Weber IDA (S) carburetors, along with the correct early intake manifolds, was entrusted to the renowned specialist Paul Abbot in Oregon, USA (from the company ‘performance oriented’). Following the restoration, the engine and transmission have covered 377 kilometers* and are ready to be experienced and enjoyed on the road.

The restoration of the 5-speed 901/02 gearbox was carried out by Chris Flavell of Fenn Lane Motorsport in England, known for expertise and profound technical understanding, especially in early 911s.
