As the 996 3.6L uses a manifold designed for the 911 style engine bay, it is too tall to fit in the Boxster without fabricating lowering mounts for the engine. You also need to pay attention to which type of VarioCam system the engine has as the DME has to match the system on the engine. This swap can be done, but you need to pay attention to the details to be successful.
