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!

Tell me more, where I can I research these?


But I love that these guys are bringing more product to the market. There will be plenty of people who can afford it.

I paid $1,500 for a 2.4 7R case with no machine work done to it 2 years ago and that was a deal.


Totally a 2k minimum case any day the case work will add $$$ but its about finding a buyer.

2.7 is as far as anyone should take any mag case.

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!!

I did a boroscope look-see when I bought the engine, but I don't recall the crank specs.

All 2.4s are counterweighted as they are the same crank as a 2.7.

What is a 2.5?
A 2.7 bore with a 2.2 stroke?
Or a 2.4 with 85mm cylinders?
If the former, not sure you want to start with a 2.2T case.

I’ve got a 2.2T that is destined to go in the car, but I’ve also got a 7R case and some bits. Ultimately it will be a short stroke with 2.7 sized jugs.

So now that you have multiple opinions is the case for sale or is it going to be used for art (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I've been hanging onto this thing for 30 or so years and ran across it recently. Funny you say that, because I was gonna put a glass top on it and make it a coffee table. I'm just trying to decide if I wanna spend the $ to send it to Ollie's. Thanks for all the responses.

If you have receipts for machine work, and detailing what was done; probably $8-1200 depending. This is hard to research fair market value. You might call Ollie's and see if they can help put a value. Pelican or Early S page is probably going to be a better site for it selling it though.

Is this Dave?



Hi, Perry. Yes, it's Dave. I called Ollie's and they guessed they'd charge around $3k for cleaning, oil by-pass mods, case savers, shuffle pins, redecking of both halves and welding a broken gusset between two bearing lands.

Hi Dave! I still have that 914 silver bracelet you made. Doesn't fit my wife though, so never worn.

My guess, is that the cost of getting one fixed exceeds the fair market value.

So unless you find a buyer that must have that case, it's probably $2-2500 to the right guy maybe the $3k. At that point wouldn't you just find a case for next to nothing and have it all fixed?

That's a bummer. Mag only gets more brittle with age.
