Brad,
Thanks. This is helpful. For the uninitiated, understanding your VIN and engine codes can be a bit confusing. Here are a couple of references which should help:
Wikipedia: Porsche VIN Codes
Porsche Club: Understanding Engine Numbers
The 2nd link is to a pdf.
My engine # is M9672167Y01963
To understand this in terms of the info Brad posted, the final 8 characters are the ones which matter - 67Y01963. "67" is the engine type and version; "Y" is the model year: Y = 2000; a 2001 would have a "1" in this position; the final 5 characters are the engine serial number.
Comparing this to Brad's info, my engine preceded the range above for 3.2 engines with the single row bearing. Woohoo!
