Hello fellow Pelicans. I have a 996 C4S with a tiptronic and no engine. What engine is an easiest fit if I want around 400hp? I really don't want to spend several years working on this car.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Im in UK, although as I see it, the only reasonable way is to order an engine from the US and then install it here. Are those guys decent? Would you trust them a blind build? Read some on this and would love to do that (as this car is kind of posh), but as I understand there is no way to fit one in a tiptronic car and I really dont want to get stuck with a car in a garage for a year or more. Had plenty of bad experiences with "projects" in my time. 2003. I used to have a 4.0 litre by Gemballa, built from the 3.6l stock engine.
