996 3.4 swap to 996 TT

Ok guys I am new to Porsche’s and I have a 99 Porsche 911 996. I have the opportunity to get a totaled 996 TT, I just want to know if it is possible to do a engine swap.

TT is a different engine than what came in your 1999 so while it is possible it is cheaper & better to sell your car & buy a TT.

If you want to do the engine, you also need the gearbox. It won't bolt up to your current gearbox. You can disable the AWD and run it as a 2WD vehicle. Don't know of a write up, but it's been done before. It's not a simple project, but it's doable.

Not simple, not cheap.

You're probably better off buying a TT.
