I have a 1999 996 which lost #6 rod and I'm looking to buy a replacement engine, or seeing if anybody has had any success with doing an engine swap on this model?

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.

Thanks for the lead both have 60k plus miles and being new to this it seems that is when they tend to expire as the one in my 996 did.
