3.6 Engine Work

So as some of you know, I've been shopping around recently for ways to make my 986 faster. 3.4 from a 996 was my first route, but I turned this down in favor of a larger 3.6 engine and after Raby said it had a lot of failures. Raby, Brad Roberts, and a few other people here have been extremely helpful.

I finally found a shop that will do what I wanted. It's a small shop in Riverside that my brother takes his 996TT to. I was quoted for a 3.6L re-sleeved from a 3.2S. I thought I'd share it with you to get some feedback, and whether or not this is trustworthy and accurate.

I drive a '99 Boxster base

Engine case machine work will be done to a 3.2 to make it into a 3.6
Custom JE pistons to make it into 3.6
I'll have to get a new chip, various gaskets and bearings
I'll also need the third radiator setup, and a new front bumper that has the vent


He says I get to keep my non e-gas setup. He also says that it'll mount straight up to my current tranny with minimal fabrication work. I asked if I needed new gauge pod, and he told me that I could use my current one.

Is there anything obvious that I'm missing from this? Is this a reliable setup?
