My bet is that they'll replace your engine with exactly what is in there now. They're living up to their end of the bargain in their stated warranty and won't feel inclined let alone obligated to give you anything extra for your trouble.

Now having a new engine in the car isn't as bad as you might think in my book. Sure, a purist won't buy the car because the numbers don't match. But a guy like me would love the fact that the motor has already been replaced by the dealership under warranty... the liklihood of it going out again on the car I'm about to buy from you is much smaller.

I bought my 97 boxster and it had a new engine put in it that had about 2-3k on it when I got it. I have no idea if the break in procedures were followed, but it sure is nice to know I have an older Porsche with a newer engine in it.
