I have a G50/32 (6-speed, so "993") transmission that will go into my car in a week when it is reassembled.
I have friends how put a 993 engine in a 964 and it was basically bolt in but required re-routing an oil line and a couple other minor mods.

993s aren't exactly new these days though - they are still at least 10 years old. I'd think you stand as much chance of needing a top end rebuild on the 993 engine as on the 964.

True enough- but there seem to be more 993 GQ's out there with modest (by comparison miles)-if (IF) you could find one wrecked the motor might be worth it.
Anyway just looking at the options.

Sure you can buy a used motor for less than a rebuild, but there is no guarantee for how long it will run. I went through this decision when my engine blew up (rod bolt came off and I had a fist sized hole in my engine's case). Rather than buy a salvaged engine and use it, I decided to have a new engine built as I would have much greater confidence in it's ability to last - and I could have some of the parts upgraded.

I know- pathetic isn't it.
I finally got everything else sorted out and now my leak down numbers are bad so I'm weighing the options; top-end rebuild, 3.8 conversion, 993 motor, Chevy small block- its all on the table.
There goes my Cup transmission money : /
