we can get you a factory re-man if you want, we would need the core back thought, but you get the factory warranty with that, always a plus

3.4L is about ~$9,500. I just quoted one out that did a little milk-shakin with some coolant and oil. Cylinder number 3 has a HUGE crack upon removing the head.

Reman 3.4L = $8100 list
Reman 3.6L = $8700 list
Reman 3.6L X50 = $9500 list
all reman engines are available from Porsche, and of course we could work with you on these prices.

Yes, I have egas.....and wasn't it...99 C2 no egas, all c4's egas and 2000+ c2's egas? And since I have egas...what would it take to put in a x50 3.6L in my 99c4?

What prevents one from using an egas engine in a non-egas car if you swap the throttle body, and even the entire intake plenum, over? Its not like the DME knows what the block is doing? The one thing that I could see is a problem with displacement changes and fueling but could the fuel maps adapt enough for the .2 liter change? For the very small diff in price I'd be inclined to go with the 3.6.

lots...and its a PITA....for one the sensors for the gas pedal as there is no actual throttle cable from the gas pedal....all those things, as well as the DME....

Though 10K is not bad for a new engine swap with warranty.
