we can get you a factory re-man if you want, we would need the core back thought, but you get the factory warranty with that, always a plus

3.4L is about ~$9,500. I just quoted one out that did a little milk-shakin with some coolant and oil. Cylinder number 3 has a HUGE crack upon removing the head.

Reman 3.4L = $8100 list
Reman 3.6L = $8700 list
Reman 3.6L X50 = $9500 list

all reman engines are available from Porsche, and of course we could work with you on these prices.

What prevents one from using an egas engine in a non-egas car if you swap the throttle body, and even the entire intake plenum, over? Its not like the DME knows what the block is doing? The one thing that I could see is a problem with displacement changes and fueling but could the fuel maps adapt enough for the .2 liter change? For the very small diff in price I'd be inclined to go with the 3.6.

lots...and its a PITA....for one the sensors for the gas pedal as there is no actual throttle cable from the gas pedal....all those things, as well as the DME....

prob not, they added the variocam plus in there and that domino affected alot of other stufff...like 80% different components...might be cheaper to sell and buy a later model.
Though 10K is not bad for a new engine swap with warranty.
