Default 996 3.4 in a Boxster 97 Tiptronic

Hey All, need some help figuring something out. I'm in the process of getting a boxster 97, 2.5 tiptronic. Been reading up on the engine swap to a 3.4 996 engine. Haven't found any reference to doing that with a tiptronic. Will the boxster tiptronic fit the 996 engine like the manual? Any issues to consider?
Thanks for any tips coming in....

Look over on renntech. There is a post all about it. It really isn't any different than the 5 speed.

Todd,
I've been on renntech and read all about your swap and downloaded your file. That's why I dare looking at it and thinking of it, it's just that I'm a bit far away from specialists so was seeking the answer on the tiptronic to ensure it's no hick up on transmission. Thanks...
