We sent them a 69S case for the same thing. $10k case but still a mag case.

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!!

My engine is an early 2.4T Euro case, built to S specs. Lots of fun!

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?

Catorze is a world member doing the 3.6 case. I think he is shooting for $5K.

That's actually not bad if it's really ready to go at that price. It's easy to drop $3-4K between purchasing a 911 case and then having all the work done to make it go to go.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Once there is a good supply of cases, I believe there will be more aftermarket manufacturers of parts to complete the engines.

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)



Breaking news: I checked the case serial number with factory records and it is a 1975, 2.7 "S" case, also the same specs as a '75 USA Carrera. I'm still not sure what to do with this thing. All opinions welcome.

IIRC 75-77 they are all "S" cases, nothing special.

I believe the 1975's were all thermal reactor cars in the US. And the cases from that year were considered the least desirable as they have all been thermally stressed by the reactors.

I'd put it up for $2500 FIRM as it sits on 911S Registry.

Don't put any more machine work money into it. (You really don't need to)

My $.02

I’d also recommend putting it on the Pelican Parts Classified Forum for the best chance of finding a buyer. Otherwise, eBay or Bring A Trailer might be other options.

$2000, knock another $500 off that if you want a quicker sale.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) there’s lots of pie in the sky asking prices but unless someone mess a specific case, mag cases just aren’t worth big money.
