You would have to port-match the heads too... pretty expensive job.

To me, it's not worth it.
Though if you really want to I'm able to make the spacers to fit the 996 intake on to the 986 heads.
With a 987 engine cover it should fit.

But then, without camshafts and a proper tune I don't think it's worth it :/

Ben,

I believe the 996 intake runner port size and the 986 are the same. They are the same head to the best of my knowledge.

At a high level, you would need to: laser scan the 996 aluminium intake runner left and right bank parts; develop the 3D model; adjust the height if possible (not sure this would be easy to adjust without negatively impacting geometry); map the 986 head holes onto the bottom flange of the model; incorporate fastener feature up top as needed; 3D print in suitable material.

I am not sure about fuel rail and injector fitment

Please make this. I have been wanting adapters for years!
