I am in the midst of having Jake build me a 3.6 SS engine from a 5 chain block from my 02 S. While we are on hold currently ( by me direction ) we will complete the engine this year. When I originally talked to Jake about what I wanted my head nearly exploded about all the combinations Jake offered. I quickly learned that these engines are finicky/difficult to hot rod CORRECTLY ! In my application basically the only Porsche OEM parts that are staying in the engine are the head and block castings. Everything else is being replaced either with LN Engineering items, aftermarket items or Jake Raby in house built items. This is NOT a small block Chevy rebuild ( no negative intent ) . My real point is there are engine builders out there like Jake that know how to build/hot rod correctly. There are DIYers that know how to build/hot rod these engines but keep in mind one tiny mistake can cost big $$$$$$ . Good luck with your build choice.
