Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2004 996 GT3 3.6L ENGINE - INTO A - 1998 996 C2 3.4L BODY SHELL Was really hoping I could rack brains re this - seems not many have done it before! NB - also swapping my GT3 Cup gearbox & GT3 engine wiring harness into the 1998 C2, along with the GT3 Engine. We have been looking at the body shells & PET diagrams. - Understand the GT3 engine & box is longer & heavier (?) The 2 key parts that seem different are on: PET "REAR END" DIAGRAM - 801-35 A - TERMINAL PIECE - item 1 - this is VERY different. C2: - 996 551 973 00 GT3: - 996 551 173 90 B - REAR WALL - item 9 - large piece - but seems quite similar? C2: - 996 502 911 00 GT3: - 996 502 191 91 Would most appreciate any advice re: - Are these the relevant different body parts? - any other different parts people can think of? - Can we use the existing C2 REAR WALL to mount engine on to etc? - as guessing its a big job to swap in a GT3 REAR WALL!! any other big issues re the engine/box swap over? many thanks JB

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

PS - should have clarified: A- we are also swapping in my GT3 Cup Transaxle/Gearbox B- also fitting my GT3 engine wiring harness to manage GT3 engine. The GT3 engine wiring harness looks like it will "plug & play" into the existing C2 harness - @ just behind the seats - hopefully! ANY THOUGHTS RE: 1 - do you think this will still cause issues with the WIRING for the GT3 engine e-throttle? (As the Carrera 2 did not have e-throttle back in 1998) 2 - the GT3 box is longer I think - true? fitting issues? thanks again!

POST 3Original post

Dan at Speed Gallery has a 2004 (I think) GT3 roller just sitting around his shop waiting for a drivetrain. May want to ping him on that before going down this road
