Opinions on the value of things 911
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2023 9:46 am
I post this thread for advice and opinions.
Every year I insure my hillclimb Lola sports Racer with a 'fancy' Porsche 911 drive train in it and pay for cover and also an Agreed Value.
It is insured by Hagerty along with my large twin axle Brian James trailer.
It is the drive train I need some opinions on.
The whole car (not inc trailer) is Agreed value of £25K and has been for 10 years.
A recent scan through items similar to my drive train on Racecarsdirect show a steep in crease in prices for engines and boxes, and this has prompted this thread, just what is my engine and box worth?
There are a few current pictures below, but here are the details:
I could do with thoughts on the value of these two items so to revise the Agreed value if required, I will seek advice on the chassis elsewhere as it is a bit different!
Engine
3.2 base engine, all wearing components 80 miles old.
Forged Carrillo rods and hyper hardware
Forges hi comp pistons
Fennlane super light flywheel, aluminium clutch
Super light epicyclic gear Brize starter motor.
Twin plug heads
Clewett twin plug ignition
GE60 cams and race springs.
PMO 50mm carbs
Custom stainless exhaust manifolds, equal length and repackable aluminium silencers
15 litre dry sump custom made oil tank and lines.
Custom flat fan with alternator
Hydraulic clutch slave cylinder
Cost to build above, £10,000 not inc the base engine.
Rolling road performance 298 bhp @ 6800, engine will run 8000, engine virgin and very tight.
Loosened up now after 40 hill climbs, so about 310 bhp maybe 320.
Gearbox
Magnesium case from my 73T 915
Helix LSD
Low ratio CWP
CWP flipped over for mid engine application, easy to convert to '911' orientation
Custom input shaft with 'loose' first gear
Long 2nd gear
4 speeds, 5th blanked off for hill climb purposes
WEVO gate shift modification
Gearbox build by Mike Bainbridge, WEVO mod by Greatworth Classics
Custom drive shaft flanges for the racing CV joints used on the half shafts.
Video of it all working, please turn the sound up:

Cost to build the above, about £4000 not inc the base gearbox.
