The new Panorama has a story on a Karman Ghia body being fit to a Boxster, it got me thinking. I have seen Suby swaps, Chevy swaps what about a Boxster engine in a 914? Would it be cost prohibitive? Anyone done the swap?

This gives me so many bad ideas. Cams, rods, better valve springs, light flywheel, and some ITBs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Now I wonder just how much torque the boxster transmission can take (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) How about a gt3 motor in a 914...... |
