Matt, Any Idea What Year 915?
 
Any idea based on this number?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1733447025.jpg

Thanks..

Nope. Thats just a casting number. .0R would be the first version, but I have no idea how many versions there were. They didn’t have as many of trackable revisions to castings as the engine cases. It’s 1979 at least because it’s aluminum, but it could be any year after that.

They do have date stamps on them, just like an engine. I forget the location though.

Byron, the date stamp and sub model is on the bottom seam of the case.

Thanks, problem is, I don’t have access as it isn’t local and I’m trying to figure out a value before I make a offer

Sorry, those pictures are better. That’s mag case, 72-77. I’m guessing on the earlier side and it likely has a 7:31 ring and pinion. It’s worth more but they are more likely to be worn out. Makes it a total crap shoot.

Last one I bought, I made the guy remove the side cover and show me the condition. I paid $2500 based on that. Not knowing I wouldn’t pay more than $1500. Even if it’s bad it still has a good mix of needed sellable parts.

thanks Matt, I was told that it is a 86, which is clearly more desirable for my 81 SC. I have already made a deal for it, so fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

An 86 would have the cutouts for the 3.2 reference and speed sensor, plus it would be aluminum. That one looks like a mid 70's early mag case.

Matt Monson 12-07-2024 07:30 AM

Definitely not an 86.

Racerbvd 12-09-2024 02:16 PM

Well, I got it, hopefully I can trade it for or towards one that will work for my SC..

That should bolt right up to your 81 SC.

No speedo drive. And wrong stub axle flanges.
