3.4 Project Begins UPDATES!

12pm today the motor showed up from LA Porsche. It was put on a plane and arrived at JFK this morning and came to my house. Here are some of the photos that I took while it was in my driveway. If anyone wants other detailed photos of the 3.4 still in its carrera form please let me know and I will take the photos asap. I ordered some assorted gaskets from porsche today and there not going to come in for a few days so the motor will stay together untill then. Enjoy. I am going to try and do a real detailed write up on the whole swap and if I can get some video of things coming off and on I will be doing that also.

Now that you've got it, how much was it?

Agreed. It does not look too difficult. I do see some differences from todds writeup. I am going to focus on some details that I think will be beneficial to others that may want to do this swap.

Anyone have an oil dipstick, the housing? I forgot that I broke mine when I took the motor out.

I don't think this is exactly what you're after, but check it out: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/986M/POR_986M_ENGoil_pg1.htm#item2
You could always contact pelican or suncoast for the specifics. The Oil Filler tube is only $38, so the dipstick tube couldn't be that much.

yea, not that. I found one on ebay but it is for a newer year and a S. So I don't know if the placement will wind up the same in my trunk. Thanks for looking though, it's pretty cool that you even looked that far for me.
