Big big thx to forum members 4 help with my 3.4 swap
Hi all
I'm about to finish my 3.4 swap finally Did it over last 4 months or so It seats on stock mounts(no dropping the engine) Used stock 996 manifolds too It fits right in, seriously right in. Lol All I have left is to reprogram DME and change ignition coils (yep, misfire on 4cylinders due to hairline cracks) and body/interior work Huge thanks to INSITE and his posts,Jaay's post, Todd ,forum itself and the book(101projects...) I didn't think I could pull it of( no expierience with cars) Happy speeding |
good for you! Lets see some pics! :cheers:
|
Thx
It's not that pretty yet. Lol Still waiting for some bodywork from Europe |
I'm assuming this is the 3.4L 996 Carrera motor? I wish I had the time/money or I would have done this too :D
Post some videos once you have it all under raps!! :D |
Can you expand on how you made it fit with the 996 manifolds?
|
Very inspiring. Best of luck to you!

Can you close the top properly with the Cayman S cover on?
Your rear window will probably melt if you don't get some insulation between it and the cover. |
