Silly Question

I'm new here - be gentle with me.

I've recently realized I can probably actually buy a Porsche, checking off an item on my list of things I've always wanted to do. (I don't like the term 'bucket list'). I've always liked the Boxster, but a 911 is a bit less cramped for my dimensions. So I've been looking at both.

Reading tons of stuff about Boxsters and 911s, I've come across mention that the 986 cars use the same basic M96 engine as the 996 cars.

How do they do that? Just turn it around? Wouldn't the engine be turning in the opposite direction? Is that corrected in the transmission?

SIlly question? Maybe, but I couldn't find an answer...

-Robert
