It also won't bolt on.. The port spacing is different, the bolt pattern is different. The 996 uses an intermediate runner set up thats made from aluminum.

Today the smallest engine we build is a 3.8 liter, and every single one of them gets some form of port work. I seldom have ever used a stock port with our big bore engines.
