With only 84K miles and the IMS done, I'd offer $2600 and see what they say. $2750 is about the going price, but even if you had to pay the full $3K you're still not getting a bad deal.

Sorry to hear about the motor. Have you considered doning the 3.4l swapp? Since you have to put a motor in oppurtunity knocks! Lol

Is a 2.5L to 3.4L possible for a 99 with manual transmission without too many additional modifications and expense?

You'll be lucky to find a 3.4 for under $5000. I have one in my boxster and love it

It has free shipping, from CA to FL, that's probably worth 4 or 5 hundred. So at $3000, it's not a bad deal if the engine is okay. Figure anothe $2 grand or so to have the engines swapped or, as we previously discussed, you can do it yourself. I did mine, and so far it's okay.

I plan on doing the swap at home, with help in between the overhaul of my 66 912 which is already in progress.

My brother had a 67 912, got it for $1200 & $10000 later (professionally rebuilt engine) he sold it for $20K.
You can do it. If you need moral support or "blind leading the blind" help & tips, PM me. I recently finished installing a 2.7 l in my '01. It is a puzzle and an adventure!

Thanks for the encouragement. I plan on using the full resources of the pool of knowledge on this board to help me through the project. Stand by...

Based on what the repair shop told me "oil filter is full of metal chunks", and the engine is seized, I will assume the IMS let go. If that's the case, does this affect any other systems, i.e. transmission or other components. Will I need to do anything besides remove/replace the motor?
