2004 996 GT3 3.6L ENGINE - INTO A - 1998 996 C2 3.4L BODY SHELL

We have been looking at the body shells & PET diagrams.

- Understand the GT3 engine/box is longer & heavier (?)

The 2 key parts that seem different are on: PET "REAR END" DIAGRAM - 801-35

A - TERMINAL PIECE - item 1 - this is VERY different.

C2: - 996 551 973 00

GT3: - 996 551 173 90

B - REAR WALL - item 9 - large piece - but seems quite similar?

C2: - 996 502 911 00

GT3: - 996 502 191 91

Would most appreciate any advice re:

- Are these the relevant different body parts?

- any other different parts people can think of?

- Can we use the existing C2 REAR WALL to mount engine on to etc?

- as guessing its a big job to swap in a GT3 REAR WALL!!

nb- should have clarified:

A- we are also swapping in my GT3 Cup Transaxle/Gearbox

B- also fitting my GT3 engine wiring harness to manage GT3 engine. The GT3 engine wiring harness looks like it will "plug & play" into the existing C2 harness - @ just behind the seats - hopefully!

ANY THOUGHTS RE:

1 - do you think this will still cause issues with the WIRING for the GT3 engine e-throttle?

(As the Carrera 2 did not have e-throttle back in 1998)

2 - the GT3 box is longer I think - true? fitting issues?

THANKS :)
