heads changed considerably in 2002 - cams, chains, ecu to work them.

I would like to find a block to machine for iron sleeves and run aftermarket rods, pistons and ecu.

I could use some old bolts, even the non-reusable ones.

Your safest bet for reliability is to skip the turbo and build a 3.8 or 4.0 using these:
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.

I want to turbo my 03 C4. I would like to find a block to machine for iron sleeves and run aftermarket rods, pistons and ecu. What blocks will accept all or most of my 03 3.6 components? Do I need to find a 3.6 or can I start with a 3.4 or even smaller boxster block?
Thanks,
Kevin
Unfortunately there's no real source of this part fits that part.
I asked Jake about it.
Your safest bet for compatibility is to stick with M96/03 cases.

When I rebuild mine, I'm going 4.0!
Well, I just ebay'd an 03 C4 long block with 64k on it for $1100 delivered. Now to decide if I want to buy or machine sleeves and what pistons I want to run.
It showed up earlier this week. I'm working on clearing a path to my machining center. I'm pretty sure if I remove the rotary/tilt, I can run the machine in 3 axis only and fit the block halves. I have one of the engineers at work trying to source me some ductile iron and 4032 for the pistons.

@carterperformance
That's still not a bad price at all for a 3.6L.
If you have any M96 parts you want to get rid of, let me know.
I could use some old bolts, even the non-reusable ones.

Brand new/never installed kit from TPC. Third radiator kit included. This exact kit sells for $11,500 new from TPC. $7500 obo. Will consider any type of trade.
