most shops will charge you 100hours @ 100/hr

thats remove disassemble, assemble, reinstall, and make it run. then they will hit you with the famous head stud retorque of about 3k in labor as the cams have to be removed to retorque the heads.

no parts included

choose your engine builder wisely, many bad stories of multiples years there car has been apart after one of these ventures.

almost forgot there are alot of specialty porsche engine tools to work on this motor, which average shops do not have so be leary of who has not done multiple cars with success.

theres a member on here who has done this many times in your back yard, he has a red 996 and his names Tim i would talk to him.
