if you are asking if the non turbo 911s have the same block as the 911 Turbo, the answer is NO they are both very different.

M64 vs. M96

Nothing in common and couldn't be any more different.

Before you kill the second poster, I think that's what we need to find out... was the OP'er comparing the M64 996 GT3 and TT or the M64 and POS 996 M96.

Hoosier, not sure why quoted me? I am adding to the previous post (i.e., #3)

No killing involved, just stating fact.

996 turbo block is the same than the 996 GT3 non-turbo block, both have M96.7x engines. Based on that mentioned M64.xx block.

M96.0x is then the 996 Carrera engine, with completely differerent block & engineering.

Extra credit accepted. I will adjust your grade accordingly.

I was not singling you out... what I should have written was "you all".

We still don't know which comparison the OP was referring to. Most of us here know which cases are in which cars.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification Hoosier.

I think the assumption was M64 v M96

Isn't the TT block the same one that was used in the GT1 race car?
