Looking for 911T engine 6193111

[Ed Holly]

Hi guys, been a I am looking for the original engine out of my 69T. I have owned the car since 20^th June 2017 and plan to keep it forever. Being an ex Ron Angus car means it is pretty special to me, and along with that, it is a wonderful example of a very early long-wheelbase 911.
This is the story as best as I could research it some time ago looking for the engine in question
The original engine is no. 6193111
Many years ago a guy called Rob owned a 69S and bought my 911T less engine from a Porsche trained mechanic who’s name I believe was Reg Mort or a name similar. Rob bought the T as the S was rusty and transferred the S motor into it. The story doesn't end there but safe to say the S now has it's original engine and my T has an early 911L engine which was rebuilt not long before I bought it.
The reason the T was sold without engine was - it had blown and was removed by Reg Mort. Apparently some years later Reg Mort was in some sort of financial difficulty and the engine and other stuff were sold to raise funds.
All this is likely to have occurred maybe 30 years ago, so the where-about of the engine now could be anywhere, including in another car.
The 69T was repainted by Zags in my ownership, the original grey-white paint has been replaced by period silver by them. Zags have done a magnificent job with the car as they always do.
I would dearly love to find the engine with a view to purchase it if it was available, and any help in locating it would be very much appreciated.

Looks nice Ed.
My 72e has been Reg Mort'd as in missing my original engine and previous oddities.
Was looking for mine (6221483) too but now don't care and have given up.
Anyway will keep my eye out for the 111 , good luck with the search.
search.

Same here. If, and big IF I come across my original 70E engine, and whover has it was willing to part id buy it, probably pay good money too, but in reality it would sit on a shelf just to make me feel complete as im having way more fun with the 2.8l.

Nice T though Ed and good luck. Never know your luck.

good luck with this search. However if it went through Reg Mort's shop back in those days it could be anywhere now, including around the world, especially just in parts in someones second hand stockpile
there are a couple of places that have stashes of engine cases (although i am out of touch of who has the best ones now days) but it wold be worth looking for engine cases rather than a proper running engine

But if that is Bruce Young's old car ( which i think it is) Robert Hopkins put the S engine in it in 1984 from a UK car. Toby Primrose bought it from Dutton's in 2015 after Bruce got too old to drive it for the engine as he then had the Hopkins car that the engine was from.

try asking Mike from Spyder Automobiles if he has any ideas - John Gregory and he used to look after it for Bruce but that was way after the initial engine swap (which was only discovered by Bruce after he bought it)
