Brian: all fluid levels were fine. Car ran started fine, no issues. Nothing out of the ordinary that would have caused me any alarm. I was able to source a 2.5L w/84K for $2,900. Not sure if remove/replace is in my skill set. I've pulled the engine on my 66 912 several times, but the 986 just looks scary. With help, I could do it. My only other concern would be getting the electronics to talk to the engine. My knowledge of DC voltage stops at the on/off switch.
