I spent a little time with Gary Emory of Parts Obsolete and Emory Motorsports. They are currently maintaining and leasing 12 356 vintage racers 4 904's for vintage racing and a Cup car for Grand Am. Anyway, he's got a whole barn full of parts and a shipping container full of 914 parts. I never can get out of there without buying something just for a spare.

He mentioned something interesting concerning 901 gear sets. He claims that early 924 trannys were very stange in that they used 901 gears and the ratios were different than 914 and 911 used. He said that this could be a source for some closer ratios for some of you track guys. I have no way to check this out and I'm not messing with my boxes anyway but I thought I would pass it on. Makes for good winter racing talk.

BTW: I love the Outlaws he's built and supports. Just awesome stuff.

Gary knows his shit thou so worth checking it out.

cool, sweet

Now THAT's good news. I currently have on the block ONE super terrific 1980 Porsche 924 transmission, pulled from a lovely car driven by a little old lady to the grocery store and church twice a week. This car developed a minor head problem and was parted out. I do however still have highly sought after for it's gears, 5 speed snail shell transmission. Thats right folks a 5 speed snail shell. Thats a rare bird. You can buy it now for the meager sum of $300.00. Thats right ladies and gentlemen an uber rare PORSCHE transmission for only $500.00. Bid high and bid often cause this little gem won't last long




Seriously anyone want it?

Would you take $800? If not, I'll go higher, let me know!



I want that thing... I'd pay any amount of cash for it... I hope he gives me a great deal...

Well Miles, I had decided I wouldn't take a penny over $1000.00 but for you I'll take $750.00. AW Hell, I still feel kinda bad about the whole clown thing so I may even be willing to go $900.00. I'll be here all day tommorrow and will even HELP you loa it into the front trunk.

Just when I was thinking we were gonna talk Outlaws, you and Miles go down the rabbit hole. Ugh!!!

Hey, I'm just trying to make a sale here Joe. No harm, we can still talk shop. That just may make my offer more desireable Besides thats what Miles and I do. We go down the hole.



Hmmm let me rethink that

Real bad visual dude....

Can I buy the Conrods? They work great in 66mm stroke engines when you use 105mm pistons fo a 2286cc

All I have left is the tranny and some body parts. I wish I had known that, I tossed the engine, and the internals were good. I just stopped working on them. Customers were a pain Every one wanted a cheap Porsche,so they bought this bastard Porsche,then wanted to polish their turd, then wanted it to go faster....hey wait a minute that sounds like US

How about taller ratios for V8 guys?

Thanks Redshift. Should be helpful after I dig into it.

Thanks Miles,
From that chart it appears that third is an "L" gear. I need one of those for my next race tranny!

Ok, so I see 4 different 924 boxes listed and 2 for the 931 (= 924 turbo)
Which gearboxes can we pull the gears from?

Gary mentioned the snail shell tranny and the 924 sebring model but, he wasn't specific with part numbers or model numbers. He did say he had several and "He should dig into those". Sorry I can't be more specific.

I dug this back up because I took one of these apart last week. It turns out it's 915 gears. 5th gear is 0.60 which is significantly lower than the 0.71 in the 914 transmission. It would be really good for a V8 with a 915 tranny. It sure is beefy after looking at 901's.

Dave

Hey- Thanks! I was looking for this...

did you go to PO again or was it the one you got from me?
