Anything is possible with enough time and money. There have been a few 996/997TT engine transplants in the past. Watercooling is the biggest issue.

You can, but it isn't easy.

As noted, packaging - specifically the water radiators - is a problem. However, electronics are probably the biggest.

996+ cars run the radiators below the front bumper.

When the factory did watercooling on the old '901' shell I think they typically ran the coolers in the rear fenders, leaving the oil coolers up front.

There is a guy who put a 996 cup engine in a 912. He put the water radiators behind the headlights. I would talk to him. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...iew-slope.html

I would imagine it is far easier to get a Cup engine running rather than a street engine, simply due to the electronics.
