The only thing that doesn't work is the Cruise control and the PSM. The cruise could work if I ever take the time to sort it out.
This thing gets much more attention then any 996

Is all that heat wrap necessary?

I bought my 03 with only 41k miles and a lms failure. Sold the dead engine for $1k.
Now it has a 09 LS2 ,kennedy adapter and flywheel,GM performance harness and ecu. I did all of the fab on the mounts and exhaust. Total cost so far (still need to do the power steering) is way less than 20k including the car!
I can be done cheaper than a used m96 if you can do it yourself.

Fierofly glad to see you here to!

All these nice LS conversions has me thinking again!

What's a good running, double row IMSB, 66K mile M96 engine with SS exhaust worth?

No it's not. I know of several over the years that have had their headers deteriorate well before they should have...Now if it's a garage queen or show car, you'll have nothing to worry about!

Dang, that's more than half of what the car is worth.

Make's you wonder what 996's would sell for if they didn't have all the engine issues.

someone always knows someone that did something. I have personally been running exhaust wrap for decades and have NEVER had an issue...
