1973 911 T TO RSR RETRO CREATION 3.6L V-RAM G50 GEARBOX
We have started with a very clean 1973 911 T showing 90,000 miles on the odometer. It’s a car that I bought without the original 2.4L mechanical injection engine, although it did still have the orig. 915 w-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 ’73 RSR style with a ’96-‘98 3.6L DME V-Ram engine featuring A/C and Heat, coupled to one of our built '87-'89 G-50 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 arms 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 G-50/50 torsion tube section, what a find !!! This was not a prerequisite for our project just a caveat of the build.
Look for more progress updates quickly !

'97 993 V-Ram engine for this '73, it will be hooked up to a Short bell housing G-50
Here is the inside view of the 1989 G-50/50 Turbo torsion tube conversion to our 1973 chassis.
This will allow us to use the G-50 and 930 rear trailing arms.
