New mag cases

How rare are these brand new magnesium cases announced by Porsche to solve the issue around 113mm head stud and 97mm spigot configuration format (7R) becoming aged out? Basically a 73RS configuration in new castings.
Trying to gauge if I should sell one of mine....

Put this over in tech forum but may get better thoughts here..

I have no idea about the rarity. They are asking just north of $10K for them. Will they come with a letter of documentation that this is a factory certified replacement case? The RGruppe/hot rod folks have been going to later engines for bigger displacement. The market for these seems limited.

If they were aluminum they would sell a bunch, but probably need new molds to deal with the difference in shrinkage between mag and AL.

The new magnesium cases from Porsche addressing the 113mm head stud and 97mm spigot configuration issues are indeed quite rare and sought after, as they essentially replicate the 73RS configuration with modern castings. These cases offer a significant solution for enthusiasts and restorers dealing with aging components, making them valuable. Given their scarcity and the specialized nature of their application, selling one could be a strategic move, especially if you’re looking to capitalize on their current demand. Students can turn to academized.com/case-study-writing-service for help with writing assignments, such as essays and research papers. The platform emphasizes producing plagiarism-free content and includes free revisions, offering a reliable way to manage academic demands effectively.



Nice, they look neat and clean.
