Gents,

Upon reading the very interesting articles about upgrades to the M96 motor, (See Here: )

From Total 911 Magazine (UK):

And another...From 911 Porsche World (UK):

I have begun a search in the US for an engine builder or tune shop that could possible offer this alternative to simply buying a new motor upon failure.

I have contacted the following shops and I am hoping for a reply:

Kinetic Speed Shop / Sunbelt engines
Farnbacher Loles
J3 Motorsport

If any other shops would be interested in discussing this, please contact me. I would like to discuss the endeavor at length to find a cost effective (vs R&R new motor) for us M96 owners.

Update - Spoke to 2 different groups. One in upstate NY and the other in the Southeast. Both mention the capability to perform this modification. Still awaiting a package price to see what the options are.

Thanks for the update.

I am very interested in knowing how this works out. Goodluck!

 

This would be a nice upgrade that may help take the sting out of an unwarrantied engine replacement.
