I forget which magazine it was, but they profiled this engine swap in one of their issues. A black 986S if memory serves.The shop said they would not do this again given the extensive costs and modificantions needed for the retrofit to work. Cheaper to just buy the 996 GT3 outright. And apparently the car needed an extensive suspension overhaul to get it feeling well balanced again.

I heard the same thing about a guy who put a 3.8 x51 into a cayman - too much squat when you get on the gas or somesuch.
