3.4 is basically a direct swap. The 3.6... not so much, although Im doing one right now. Its the swap were your 02 will need an upgrade to the 7.8... check out renntech.org for more info.
I did a search on renntech. Sounds like a lot of people are taking the engine from a 996 instead of the boxster. Is this what you meant? I was thinking of maybe taking a Boxster S engine. Anyone know which one would be easier? Pros/cons?
