I have a complete running 99 Boxster 5spd with a quarter million miles on it.
It's roachy enough to turn into an "Organ Donor". I'm a sucker for 4 valve, modern digital FI, COP, and modern accessories. I look at the Boxster and think "Wonder if I can fit that in the 914?". I think it might be possible. After conversion I would most likely replace it with a Boxster S or maybe even a 911 engine. The drive package I'd rather use is a Boxster/Cayman S with the six speed but I own the 2.5L 5 speed now. There is a good chance I can part the 986 out and make money as it came with a factory hardtop. I want to "vulture" the calipers anyway. Are the water-cooled sixes dimensionally identical externally? Have others tried before? I did find this. At least one has been done! https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914...conversion.html |

If you search you can find people that have swapped a Boxster engine into a 914. From what I recall as others have mentioned you have to go with remote coils on a couple cylinders for clearance (its that close).
