To avoid the obvious questions why I don't do a 3.4 or 3.6 engine swap:
It's too expensive: my extended warranty pays for the new engine & core (and installation). If I swapped the engine for anything other than the original 3.2L, then I would have to pay for the core myself and would probably also void the (extended) warranty.

Based on what I was told by Porsche, there are in fact new engines but they may have reconditioned externals such as water pump, FI and the like.
For what it is worth.
