I had a 98 with 22,500 blow on me 6 months back. I finally got around to finding a 996 3.4 and sending it to Todd (member on this forum) and he just completed the swap. I'm awaiting the car to be delivered back to me sometime this weekend. It sucks to know how easy these engines go. Mine was making a clicking noise in the passenger rear tire area and full lights with CEL came on. When I saw the CEL, I had a gut feeling it was a "Change Engine Light" type of failure. Towed it to Porsche and said it was a cable tensioner failure. Long story short, needed a new engine and 10k later, I hope this last me a little longer. So I know how it feels. Good luck and will keep you posted on how the 3.4 feels when I get it back.
