Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

It would probably be better/cheaper in the long run just to sell the 996 and buy a used GT3.

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

I was thinking, my car is out of warranty (2000 Cab), and I have seen quite a few 3.6L engines for sale with really low miles. The extra HP would be good to have. Can the swap be easily done into my cab? Has anyone done this? Thanks, Tracy

POST 2Original post

yes, it can be done... but why?? for an extra 20hp? Just sell your 3.4 and get a 3.6. Save the hassle and pain.... Or if you need more power, go the supercharger route...

POST 3Original post

As Jon said, it can be done, but isn't worth the hassle unless your 3.4 is already blown.

POST 5Original post

With prices for used GT3s in the crapper, I can't even understand why it would be worth it to do that. It would probably be better/cheaper in the long run just to sell the 996 and buy a used GT3. If someone is bound and determined to keep their current car AND they simply cannot live without more HP, a supercharger seems to me like the only option that makes any sense at all from an overall bang for the buck standpoint. Now, let's talk about dropping a GT3 motor into a stripped out Cayman S . . . .mmmmmmmmmmmmm
