I am now am on the path of comparing wiring diagrams between the 2002 and 2001 and creating a spreadsheet from scratch to document the necessary wiring changes. Others have created these but they also seem to have all been taken down from the forums. I am close but the diagrams I have have aren't yet telling me the whole story.

Do it nice or do it twice. I have a complete 2001 Boxster long block that i have rebuilt with the LN 3.6 liter sleeves for sale for $14,000 plug & play with no mods required.

Very nice but roughly twice what the 996 motor I am being offered costs. It has the LN bearing and a few other upgrades. Not having to change the ECU is a great selling point.
