I picked up a blank case engine earlier this year, built to Super specs with the fat daddy carbs. Cool engine, it sold quickly to a friend of mine who needed it for a 53 Coupe.

What are the numbers cast into the side of the generator stand?
They should look something like this:

Mr.Okrasa:
May one inquire as to the rockers and cam you would typically use in such a build?
Just curious.

Nice work Mr Ruiz!
A lot of good inputs here, most importantly the pictures of original engines...very well. The first proven, original P-engine with a mag case is mid-February 1951 - indicating that the last 4-digit cars had mag cases and also that Porsche changed when VW changed from alu to magnesium in late January 1951. Very well...
Now - on to another topic...part-numbering.
The 369-engine (std 1100 ccm) was introduced as the "first mainstream 2-piece P-engine"....and the 369 part numbers are all over it.
So - my question/topic....did the 369 part number last up to the 3-piece case on all parts that was NOT affected by the change to 1300...to S....to 1500?
To illustrate - I have a 1300S engine (74mm bore, 74,5 stroke), yet for example the rocker-assembly is numbered 369....
Do you know when/how the individual part numbers changed on the various 2-piece variants?
Picture of my rockers-assemblies on the 1300S engine:

Here is a photo of my magnesium 1953 1500S case.
It is a dealer warranty replacement case, hence the KD and the star stamping prior to the engine serial number.
