Probably an impeller(plastic) from the water pump broke off;blocked a passage and that was it.Temp didn't peg.We haven't taken the pump out yet.

And, while you are at it...the latest IMS solution...

The "Solution" can't be used on the new short or long blocks from Porsche without splitting the case.

I would be patient and find a used engine. I’ve seen some engines out there in the wild for cheap (like $3.5-$6k).

This is a Porsche 911, remember that. Even if you have to drop $8-$10k to get it back up and running, you’re still driving a car that costs less as than any good new Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc.

Also, Everything is expensive these days. Need a new roof or a new driveway? Five figures. You can almost buy a used 996 engine for the price of two or three new iPhones.

I agree 100%, I just recently picked up a 101k mile engine pulled from a running car for $2500 that is to have an LS3 engine and extensive body transformation on it. So there are engines available for any budget if you are patient and look for it. If money is no object and you are just "done" with it, then price it cheap, let someone else fit there budget and move on with something else.
