1973 911T To RSR Build With 993 3.6L Varioram G50 Restoration Conversions

1973 911T To 911 RSR With 993 3.6L Varioram DME G50 Restoration Conversions

We have started this restoration and modification build with a very clean 1973 911T showing 90,000 miles on the odometer. It’s a car that I bought without the original 2.4L mechanical Fuel injection engine, although it did still have the original 915 transmission with 7:31 ring and pinion hanging in there. The car was so clean & complete I had thought about putting a 2.4L MFI engine back in, wait this thought only crossed my mind for a moment. I had true visions of grandeur in 1973 RSR style with a 1996-1998 993 3.6L DME V-Ram engine featuring A/C and Heat, coupled to one of our blueprinted and rebuilt 1987-1989 G50 short bell housing gearboxes, and complete 930 turbo suspension.

We stripped the car, and started with the nitty-gritty, and since we wanted to fit the project with true 930 rear trailing arm suspension.  We decided to cut out & replace the torsion tube section. We started to prepare a 930 torsion tube we had in stock, but soon found that the T-tube section had been cut to the point that the integrity was lost. We located a special 1989 911 turbo G50/50 torsion tube section, what a find!!! This was not a prerequisite for our project just a caveat of the build.
