Good evening everybody, I hope everyone is well. I am starting this thread to document my swap and discuss solution and problems along the way. Heres some background information about myself. I am 19, live in fort worth texas and work at a MB dealer as a service technician. Let me start out by saying I am by no means experienced in the world of swaps. I am still getting my feet wet in the automotive industry and am learning every day so please forgive me in advance for my lack of experience and understanding.
Alright, now for the details. I am performing the swap on a 2001 911 C2. It is originally a 3.4 automatic. My uncle bought it brand new back in 2001 and i bought it from him 3 years ago. I bought it with 52k miles and daily drove it UNTIL i believed i heard a knocking. I then let the car sit for 18 months. I recently took it to the porsche dealership for a diagnosis on the engine to find out what exactly what is wrong with the engine so i could list it for sale accordingly. Fortunately/unfortunately the dealership said its operating as designed and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So maybe I should've had it diagnosed before i bought half the parts for the swap. Oh well you live and you learn, no more jumping to conclusions. So, as we stand, the engine and automatic transmission have been removed and are available for sale if anybody is interested in those (72842 miles). I have removed the automatic shifter housing and shifter cable and replaced it with the manual shifter and manual shifter cables. I also installed the blue hard clutch lines and the manual pedal set. I think thats as far as I've gotten so far.
For reference the new engine is a 6.2 ls3 (from a 2010 camaro) that has been machined. it has a texas speed f35 cam, gm performance ls7 lifter kit,tsp hardened pushrod kit, melling high volume oil pump kit, melling high performance engine bearing kit, meahle gm oe overhaul kit. It is DOD deleted.
I've ordered practically the entire CPE catalog. I've started a youtube channel as well to document the build so feel free to check that out as well if you'd like. https://www.youtube.com/@Roybuilds
That'll be all for now, ill continue to update this with updates and questions. Thank you all and God Bless.

Been quite some time since I've posted on here. I have been documenting the swap on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@Roybuilds
Not too far from "finishing" the swap. Need to build my exhaust and tidy up a few things, all of which will be featured on my youtube channel.
