Bummer. I'll ask anyways.
Anybody know if the Reman program is still operational? At one time it was rumored that you could send your m96 engine to porsche and exchange it for an x51 engine and pay the difference.

This is very interesting as someone has stated a while ago that there are no more M96 short blocks available anywhere and that they are grabbing up anything left from distributors overseas. Seemed a bit far fetched for me and turns out that's not the case.
I can confirm that there is no such thing as a X51 short block. It's same as any 3.6 M96. One important thing to also keep in mind that you absolutely need the X51 specific ECU to make it all work as they have different maps compared to a standard M96. I'm sure you could do a custom tune to take advantage of the better flowing heads and exhaust but that's another thing to keep in mind. X51 package included a better flowing exhaust manifold.

I guess I really lucked out! Replaced the original engine in my car in 2011 because of bore scoring with a factory X51 long block. All in cost at my Porsche Centre was $15,000 CAD then, which was on par with what I was being quoted by indy shops to rebuild the original. Plus it came with a 2 year unlimited Km warranty.
The parts dept had noticed that the price was the same for the X51 as the M96; a few months later, this was no longer the case but I had won that lottery already.

Folks, I was at the dealership today picking up a few parts and a line formed that prevented us from tracking down X51 info. Funny how the dealership had no new cars for sale, a couple of used ones and a big line for parts. Never seen it before. I plan on calling them tomorrow to have them continue to look into anything X51 related. Be back shortly.

Definitely keep us updated if you find out anything new about the X51 offerings.
