IMS etc. Am I just buying another hand grenade? Should I fix the 2000, I love it, and wind up with a new engine? Help !

Buy BYProdriver's rebuilt 3.2 with the 3.6 LN Nickies conversion that he's had for sale for a while. I had my 2003 S engine similarly rebuilt after its IMSB failure. Just completed the break-in and had the oil changed and it looked over, and am loving it to death! If my car was a 2002 or earlier his motor would have worked for me and I would have jumped on it. But in 2003 Porsche went to a 3 timing chain engine and different variocam and ECU so it wouldn't work.
