If I could find one with a clutch pedal in Atlas Gray I would buy it. I've been looking casually for months. They are rare birds. For some reason, I just can't seem to settle for any other color.

I value body shape over motor capability, and I don't think I'm alone. Motor swaps aren't that big a deal, whereas a widebody conversion is like $20k of work I can't do myself and cannot be undone. I'd personally rather have an M491 than an SC with a 3.6.
Sounds like you should be looking for a 996 C4S and repaint it. That's going to be the cheapest way to tick your boxes.
