Suggestion
I think you will find it reality your 2 is upside down and the short block is only the bottom end so if youve got any damage then it still ends up costing 5 figures plus using a "new short Porsche engine".

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am not sure any one else might be aware but saw this on 911uk it rather looks like Porsche are supplying the short block for these engines at a very reasonable price and you can even get an x51 block price was around £2700+ vat !!!!!!!!! Finally Porsche are supporting all those customers who have shown incredible loyalty not sure how long it will last but it will certainly revive the fortunes of the 996 may even rejuvenate the second hand market good news all round I am sure Richard will get his computer out and tell us exactly what the price is

POST 2Original post

Hmmmmmm Depends on the model year, but prices vary between around £8,800 and £13,100. Don't know where the £2,700 comes from - I was barred from 911UK a couple of years ago, so haven't been back since.

POST 3Original post

I think you will find it reality your 2 is upside down and the short block is only the bottom end so if youve got any damage then it still ends up costing 5 figures plus using a "new short Porsche engine". Best route still tge £5-6k rebuild route.....

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

you dont have to post to read the forum it is a thread that has been running they are trying to decide what this includes it looks like there will be clarification but I know in the past Porsche have done this sort of thing obviously the devil is in the detail just thought it looked interesting I had suspended my usual cynicism this evening before posting I have no affiliation I have the fabled mezger engine which I had to have rebuilt http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=101085

POST 5Original post

Porsche have had the M96 short engines on PET for a few months now. There was a chap on Boxa.net who had one fitted to his 987 Cayman, and it cost his warranty company £13,000. http://www.boxa.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=62547&page=2 It isn't that I couldn't read the 911UK thread, it is just that I don't want to.

POST 6Original post

Suggestion is that the price on the system is a lot more but when ordering price calculates at £2.7k. Maybe they will follow with a Boxster engine at a reduced price... Why were you banned from their forum Richard??

POST 7Original post

I'm pretty sure they are available for the 986.
