I've talked to a lot of people about putting a 99' 3.4L in a 99' 986 2.5L chassis and the install quotes have bounced around A LOT.

Instant G would do it for $1.5k-$3k max

Depending on where you are you may want to contact Todd(tholyoak) on renntech.org and see if he would do it for you,I have no clue how much he would charge. He's changes motors on his Boxster often and have plenty of exp. doing so.

Local shops wanted anywhere from $3k-5.5k............All the people who have done it,Instant G & Todd all same the same thing,it's easy. All the M96 engines are very similar,just bigger version of each other.Anyone who has done it a couples of times should be able to do it in 30 hours tops. Small things like the oil pump have to swapped or something funky has to be done,but it's still a pretty straight forward swap.

Heck if you want to D.I.Y. email me and I can send you Todd's Write-up.
