So, payments are on the way for both my car and engine stuff. In the end I got close to what I was asking.

This will put me about halfway to what I want for a down payment on a 2000-2002 Boxster/S, OR 1/3rd to a great condition 928, OR 1/3rd to a great condition 944 S2/951. Not quite sure which to get yet... But I'm sure as I save up more I'll sway closer to the Boxster...

I dunno, I see this and I see an LS2/LS7 drivetrain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Pedals could be relocated easily and so forth and that engine could set back at least another 8"-10" as well.

Set a V8 LS engine back, run the Vette trans with all the weight in between the front and rear wheels and have a really nimble, easily 50/50 if not a better chance of slightly biased rear weight, low mass moment of inertia, so forth. As you can probably tell I heavily considered one of those v. the 914 when I did my V8 conversion.
