Didn't even know about that. I don't think I'll be considering any swaps on my 987S during warranty, but am curious as to what options are available. I wonder why Ruf charges $14k more for the same swap. Is it because the X51 engine costs more? Any ideas?
Actually, how much does a new 997 3.8L w/X51 engine cost? And shouldn't just any good Porsche mechanic shop be able to do the swap? There's a guy on Renntech that swaps engines into his 986 like I change shirts. All done in his garage, two days tops.
