I would like to hear the details of your 3.6 conversion.

You can do it - if you like 6 reverse gears and 1 very low forward gear. The final drive on a 996 turns in the opposite direction since the power train unit on a 996 is "backwards."

it may be more practical to get custom gears for your current gearbox, but with a reinforced clutch/flywheel/synchros.
