Rebuilt Porsche engine with 8300 miles?  I'd question what actual engine it is.  Most here use the Type 1 VW bug engine.  Stock it was 50 hp but can be modified to over 120.

120hp. Really? A whopping 120? Try 180-200hp. And I really beg to differ about reliability. The right person can build a really powerful, tractable, cool running, and reliable type1.

The EASIEST way to tell a 356/912 motor is the mechanical fuel pump. It's at 9 o'clock looking at the crank pulley, just below and to the left of the distributor. On a type1 VW motor the fuel pump is at 12 o'clock, directly to the right of the distributor.
