1972/73 engine case type 911/53

[haycait911]

***SOLD***was a running engine in fall. came in my 73.5 T with S pistons and 2.4 CIS heads and induction I talked to the two previous owners and this engine has been in the car since at least 1980.

engine was taken apart last month and the case is just back from media cleaning. overall pretty decent. some minor corrosion, mostly on upper right side, see pic #5. no serial number or evidence one was ever there. $3700 obo plus shipping from 98844.


also have 2.4 S pistons and cylinders for sale here.....

FS - 2.4S pistons and cylinders

It seems odd that the case has an engine type but no serial number. I have a '67 engine with a replacement case and it doesn't have a serial or engine type number. Any other pelicanites want to offer their expertise on this one. I am rather curious as to what I have as well.

But the serial numbers were obviously left blank. No dog in this race but that looks like a reasonable deal on a 72-73 S case. Are the crank journals std? You have P and Cs for sale...do you have any of the other parts to make up a short or long block?

crank journals are standard. I do have most parts to make a shortblock. I didn't post the crank, rods, intermediate shaft, etc. as they're common to all 2.4 engines. but I do have them available. also a set of fresh rebuilt MFI T heads. they could be ported to S spec.

Engine case Revisions 901.101.101.5R and 901.101.102.4R

I understand that this was used in 1973.

I thought the 73.5 used the 7R case?

it does. this case isn't correct for my car. not even close. I found a correct 73.5 type case so this one goes.

[haycait911]

requested pic of the number area. and if my price is out to lunch make an offer. I couldn't find much of a sales history on this.

Don...is the $3700 for just the case?.....just wondering as I have a 7R case and if cases are going for that $$$ I need to sell mine....Thanks John

It.s an S case?


I couldn.t fnd much of a sales history for 72-73 S cases. The only two credible ones I could find were $4500 and $5000.

Yes, is an S case!

Your case its an Engine case type 911/53 with correct engine case Revisions 901.101.101.5R and 901.101.102.4R that was used on a 1973 Porsche 911S.

The question is if it's a blank number case or replacement case or deleted number case?? but, in any event, it is good to have a blank case with the correct case type numbers and with correct engine case Revisions numbers.

72/73 911s Engines and MFI set ups are so difficult to find this days... If this case is in good condition and If I had a 1973 Porsche 911S with a non 911s engine I would buy it!!!

sorry...didn't see that the case was an S also like the P&Cs....so that's the reason for the $$$ price ....the old S factor....
what I have is a 73.5 7R T CIS case small spigots ....some what rare but not like the S items
good luck with the sale....nice looking parts!

thanks John. funny. I would have been after your 73.5 case a month ago. now I've found a correct 73.5 one somewhat near to me.

[jhora]

that is funny....just goes to show we all have these parts laying around and they need to go to other homes
