Jake,

Based on my description above, what do you think I'll find when I finally find the time to work on one of my cars (probably in January)?

What would you check first?

Since everything but the spark plugs and serpertine belt are original on the 2.7, it will need at least a flywheel, clutch set, IMS, RMS, water pump, and AOS.

I've found a new 3.8 X51 for around 12k, but Porsche will not cover it with the 2 year warranty unless it is installed in car that originally had a 3.8 and only if it was done at a Porsche dealer. So I can understand and support your stance on warranties!
