Do I have a 962 engine case?

[Jim Dunham]

I started setting up my 3.0L engine rebuild project to recase my 3.0L track engine and grabbed one of my unstamped 3.0/3.2L engine cases that I got long ago from a guy who worked on a Porsche IMSA team and noticed some odd things that made me wonder if the case is a 962 case:
1. No engine serial number
2. no engine type number
3. many of the fasteners appear to be titanium
4. O ring'd cylinder bores
5. Long/large piston squirters.
6. "930.101.103.6R" / "930.101.104.5R" case number

Is there some definitive way to identify it?

Nice find.Could be 935 as well.Titanium hardware is lovely.Fred

Did the 962 use gear driven cams like the 956 or did they simply plug a 911 engine in with a giant turbo to meet IMSA's rules?

[Steve@Rennsport]

That case has been boattailed and relieved as well.

Looks like a 962 (air-cooled) case to me.

[Jim Dunham]

Any idea on value?

Do you have the trough bolts? What style are they if you do

[Jim Dunham]

I dont have the thru case bolts.

Do you want to sell the case? I sent you a pm

That case deserves vapor-honing

Steve is spot on. Its an air cooled case. Easy to identify. Check the #7 main web. Its common for these cases to crack there. No number could mean it was an Andial case "built" here in the US.

andial will always put a number on it but there are many other builders like JW who don't...

[Jim Dunham]

Case had many cracks in it so it was scrapped a year ago.

[svandamme]

scrapped, surely you mean somebody has a nice coffee table now?

[Wayne 962]

I have about 20-40 of these older 962 cases in storage right now, in varying condition.
