				3.6 Engine Work
			 
 
			So as some of you know, I've been shopping around recently for ways to make my 986 faster.  3.4 from a 996 was my first route, but I turned this down in favor of a larger 3.6 engine and after Raby said it had a lot of failures.  Raby, Brad Roberts, and a few other people here have been extremely helpful.
 I finally found a shop that will do what I wanted.  It's a small shop in Riverside that my brother takes his 996TT to.  I was quoted for a 3.6L re-sleeved from a 3.2S.  I thought I'd share it with you to get some feedback, and whether or not this is trustworthy and accurate.
 
 I drive a '99 Boxster base
 
 Engine case machine work will be done to a 3.2 to make it into a 3.6
 Custom JE pistons to make it into 3.6
 I'll have to get a new chip, various gaskets and bearings
 I'll also need the third radiator setup, and a new front bumper that has the vent
 
 
 He says I get to keep my non e-gas setup.  He also says that it'll mount straight up to my current tranny with minimal fabrication work.  I asked if I needed new gauge pod, and he told me that I could use my current one.
 
 Is there anything obvious that I'm missing from this?  Is this a reliable setup?
