Not much changed from the 3.6L engine in '03 to the 3.6L engine in '05. The '05 version was in teh base 997 and gained 5 HP from 320 to 325. If I recall correctly, the Vario-cam was midified a little and became Vario-cam Plus. There are probably a few other changes but nothing substantial.
'05 also saw the introduction of the 3.8L engine, which was the basis for the 997 S model, and produced 355 HP.

I think the '05 C4S had the same engine as '02-04 C4S? Not too sure....just throwing that out there to get things cookin here.
And....I think Des drew that himself!!! Or maybe another RL'er did? I recognize that style from a recent thread here. Nice.

I am a motorsport illustrator and that is one of mine. It should be in Christopheros magazine soon. They are sold at Motowheels .com. if they are out, contact me and I will be more than happy to send you one. They are sold at $30. They are Giclee printed on archival paper. Very minimalist...very Porsche. I will post most.

Fellas, they are ALL the M96 motor! The design hasn't changed, the block hasn't changed, and until there is a total redesign (2010 or 2011 with the 998) the 99-01, 02-04, 05+ all have essentially the same motor with small tweaks here and there to pick up a few ponies or with the 997S to increase displacement slightly.

And maybe you could sign the back - "to my fellow 996er with the non-exploding 3.4 engine..."
