Advice for Project Car/Engine Swap
 

Hello Pelicans,

I'll be entering the market for a 911 next summer and have been planning out possible projects. I've done a few searches but haven't really come across any solid information (if you have links, please provide them). My main goal is to have a reliable daily driver that I can take on occasional track days. Now, what would be the best route in terms of bang-for-buck while still keeping parts strictly Porsche (no LS V8's and the like) to achieve this?

1) Would it be best to start off with a 964, 3.2 carrera, or SC?

2) Would it be better to find a clean driver and build it or find a nice 3.2/SC shell and swap in a 993 3.6L?

3) What costs are involved with a 993 swap into a 3.2 Carrera or an SC? Is this a DIY project or is professional work required?

If you have any other suggestions, please state them! I'm an open book and am trying to learn as much as I can about these cars before I make my purchase next summer.

Thanks in advance!
