I'm no expert on this, but I've researched it.

It's best to swap a 97 2.5 with a 3.4 out of a 97-99 911. Egas conversions are tough.

Plus, you get far more power than the tiny bump from 2.5 to 2.7...

engine swap

Thanks. I have an extra 2.7L and trans on hand. Maybe I can find a 3.4 to swap for.

I'm no sexpert but I believe if you find a 3.4 you can use the 2.7 trans with it.

All you need to do to put the 2.7L engine in the early car is swap the engine harness and put the center throttle body T with throttle body from the 2.5 on the 2.7 intake. I just did this to my dads car. We built a 2.9 out of a 2.7 and put it in his 99 Boxster.
