I should have added that is a side shifter trans and I am not sure of the model year but I think 74 was the year of the car

Thank you for your answer, Was there ever an aluminum case for the 901 transmission? I am just curious

There was an aluminum case for the 901 in the 1965-1969 911's. Partway through 1969 the 911 transmission was released and it was magnesium, as is the 914 transmission that was released conccurently with it. People often call the whole family of transmissions the 901 family but there are 3 distinct members to it, with there being both the side shift and the tail shift ones within the 914 grouping. You cannot take a 901 bellhousing from a 911 and put it into your 914. The middle section on the aluminum cases are different as are some other things. But the flipside is that your mag case is lighter.
I've got a sideshifter tailcone available if you are looking for one. PM me if you are interested in it...
