Water cooled Porsche 6-cylinder dimensions Options

[technicalninja]

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!

If I was offered that TODAY, I would be able to pay cash for that at 9AM tomorrow!

Here's something really sad. My dad had two 964s.

The 94 4S with quarter million miles Sort of roachy. (a BUNCH like this current Boxster!) had what was described as "Cup" suspension and the "Big Red Brakes" he paid 7500 for.
His wife named it "Hobbit".

That car was a FREAKING hoot to drive, gutted cat, BIG holesaw cut holes in airbox, Someone's performance chip/tune.
Howled like a werewolf and you could drive it HARD!
It was cosmetically challenged, and you couldn't really devalue it.
Ugly Grey, not metallic...
I did a BUNCH of shit to it. It needed help!

I'd kill to have Hobbit back today. Dad sold for 10K after repairs

#2 1994 Speedster! Narrow body, 20K miles, Guards red, and Recaro "KILL YOUR ASS" carbon fiber seats. I would have fit better NAKED!
Bone ass stock concours candidate. No one but Porsche dealer touched before my dad.
Flawless paint, NO chips ever!

Terrifying to drive!
I WAS SO careful with this car. It was SO NICE that I didn't want to be the first person to scratch it.
Bought for 55K sold 3 years later for 52K AND THEN He was offered it back two years later for what the guy had in it. 52 plus the service receipts.

Dad didn't jump!
Today that car would be at the HIGH end of 94 speedsters.

And you really shouldn't modify something like that at all.
