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)

The completely rebuilt engine I bought as a 2.7 for my conversion was found through an ad in the back of Panorama.
I made the deal over the phone, it shipped and I went to work on getting the car prepped for it; motor mounts, oil tank install, oil cooler, etc. When we decided to bore out the heads and manifolds from 32mm to 36mm, we discovered that the pistons were 83.9mm so 2.4 displacement. At first, I was a bit pissed that it wasn't the 2.7 I thought I had bought as advertised, but now I feel that a 2.4 really suits the car. It is plenty fast, sounds really sexy, and does not run hot. Nothing compares to the sound of a vintage 911 engine at full song. It brings back old memories of these cars that I used to hear growing up. I had installed an oil cooler set up for the 2.7, so that is there keeping things cool. My engine is an early 2.4T Euro case, built to S specs. Lots of fun! |

Does the 2.4T have the noncounterweighted crank like the 2.2T? If so, did you replace your crank? I have a 2.2T that is destined for one of my 914s, rebuilt to a 2.5E or S spec, but damn, cranks are expensive these days!!

Lots of fun! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/style_images/...ages/indent.gif Nothing wrong with crankshafts from the 2.2 just folks being dictated by what they read on the net. Top engine builders are using them (66mm) with larger bores to good result,check to see whats happening @ Supertec think the 2.4 was the first to use the larger throw crank as far as I remember but could be wrong . |

I've been reading about the aftermarket 911 cases over on Pelican - one guy is doing a cast version and another guy is now in the mix doing billet early cases. No one has mentioned cost yet. Not cheap, I'm sure. I'm guessing $10-20K? Anyone know?
