The engine you have (742380) is a 912 616/36 engine, built after 356 production ended.
It is a 912 engine that will work in the same applications as a 356, but it would be misleading to sell it as a 356 engine.
It has comparable value to a 356C engine so you will be fine selling it as what it really is, a 912 engine.
Best of luck with the sale. _________________ Sebastian Gaeta
