Hello Gary,
Yes it will. While the LSDs have changed internally from year to year and model to model the bodies themselves are virtually unchanged all the way back to the 964 chassis. They are all based on the G50. If there's any way I can help you sort this out or even just to assess pricing on what you're looking at please feel free to contact me direct through the shop email.

The thing you've got to watch out for on the 996 Cup LSDs is that some of them were part of a production run that was subject to cracking and breaking. If you've already got one it may be a timebomb and you might want to consider replacing the body with a billet one.

There is a really good cup car forum on Rennlist in the performance and competition area. A couple of pro teams post there regularly. It's a great resource as you work to restore the car.
