M96 Porsche factory short engines, price reduction
I spotted a tiny little article in this months Total 911 magazine that might be of interest to anyone considering an engine build on their 996.
The article at the foot of page 10 suggests that Porsche have reduced the price of short motors by almost 50%
They are now available, according to the article, for £3,500 direct from Porsche.
At first glance this looks like a sea change in not only the cost of a rebuild but also a welcome boost for the future values of 996 cars as the spectre of failed engines making the car itself valueless is significantly lessened.

Short block would include entire lower assembly (pistons, rods, crankshaft, etc), but not heads, waterpump, sensors...
Also, is that for 2.5l, 2.7l, 3.2l, 3.4l, 3.6l?
I'm guessing it is for one of the smaller engines.

I wonder if this route would be cheaper if your engine literally blew up (crankshaft, block, pistons, rods, camshafts, head, valves....). I have no heads and this is all that's left of my engine. White box has the intake manifold.

Without usable heads, it would likely be cheaper to purchase a longblock.
