911 crankcase Options

[Tonyooc]

I just read an article that Porsche is selling all stock 911 crankcase from 1984 to 1998 . It said they are selling at porsches dealers. I wish I had some extra cash to stock pile some.

I mean who wouldn't want a brand new engine case? If the price was more reasonable, like $2,500 they would sell like pan cakes on Sunday morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

I’m surprised Porsche isn’t charging more.
Guys spend $3-4K on machining their 40 year old mag cases and $4-6k to buy used 3.2 cases. These are brand new.

Overall I'd agree but two points:

1) They aren't mag. I want a small displacement mag case for weight reasons. I also a want period correct case (1973). I know I'm odd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

2) I'm sort of baffled by the statement that they couldn't read the prints to machine the raw castings but yet held on to them for all these years? And then magically they found machining prints from 962? Just a weird story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Not saying it's not true. Just weird.

Since the production machine tooling is long gone, these would have had to have been machined up via CNC. Not a bad thing in itself, but does make $8k look like a bargin.

No one will tool up for mag cases, not even Porsche, if we do see early cases repopped they will be aluminum. taorminaracingdesigns.com who make and sell the 3.6 engine case said they would reproduce them, no idea on ETA.

I found the manufacturer.... https://noonanrace.com/products/911-porsche-case

That case, by itself, is $12,500.00. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) And unless they make billet timing chain boxes to go with it, it is going to leak oil. They all leak from the factory.
