I'm looking for opinions on the value of a 7R 911 engine case, fully machined and Case Savers installed by Ollie's? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Multiple people are getting into the replacement case market. Billet aluminum cases. Heavier than Mag but much stronger and ready to build right out of the box. Won't be cheap but Mag has a short working life that gets shorter when heated. The aluminum cases should last our lifetime and beyond.

This post on pelican list a couple of the guys doing it. https://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-...ric-racing.html The downside is that you could get the case for free and you are still looking at an expensive engine to build. Crank, rods, heads, pistons & cylinders, dual dizzy, fan & shroud, bearings, oil pump, ect. will still cost tens of thousands if you buy new. Even if you buy used parts it will be $10-15K aditional. We did a 3.8 for a customer and it was $80K in parts. I learned from my cycling days its always more expensive to build piece by piece than to by a product and modify. If $15-20K for a 3.6 is beyond your budget, building on a new case makes it look cheap. But I love that these guys are bringing more product to the market. There will be plenty of people who can afford it. |

I just found the guy who's been working on the 3.6 case halves on a Rennlist thread, looks like a promising project! I can't wait til he does the mag case replacements!
