Is it possible to turn a 3.6 into a 3.7 (by shortening the rods), then? Or are the engines just too different?

Off-topic, could I ask what ride heights are you running on your car?, taken form the Porsche suggested points.
How close is your FVD oil pan to the floor with those heights?
Cheers

What benefit does the Motorsport AOS have please? And how does it compare price wise? I know most Porsche Motorsport parts are usually cheaper.
I'm interested in the IMS bearing goes as the roller type is top of my list should I need to change mine.

The Motorsport AOS is a twin chamber design with more capacity than the standard item which amongst other things means it avoids the smoke on circuit with sticky tyres that sometimes happens with the standard AOS. Apparently they are a bit more reliable too but I think that is mostly anecdotal as I doubt the KMs have been done on the Motorsport version to validate that against the standard part!

No, in short If you shorten the rods you will still have a 3.6 just with a lower compression ratio.
3.6 and 3.4 share a common bore, the 3.6 just has a longer stroke crank. If you do the same as I have done (100mm bore) on a 3.6 then you'll get a 3.9L motor, although as I mentioned in my earlier post I didn't want to go 3.6 crank in mine as I wanted to keep the piston speeds low, the pistons I am using are lighter than the OEM ones so rod loads are actually lower now than the were as standard.
