I am thinking of parting out my '99 986 with a 2000 3.4 motor with approx. 65k miles. Upgraded to dual row IMS and equipped with an IMS DoF (direct oil feed) which IMHO is a way better (and permanent) fix than an LN bearing. Last three Blackstone readings (most recent one about two months ago) came back with excellent readings. Still in the car, still running, you can check it out and do a bore scope or compression test if you want. Way better and safer than any of the Pandora's box engines from Ebay and other dismantlers. Haven't checked going prices lately but I'll do some research if interested.
