Ford?

Absolutely!

We don't see sbf swaps because they are huge and don't fit. You might want to test fit before committing to the pricey adapter kit.

Not true. 302 ford with coil on plug and remote mount water pump is shorter than ls....the ls conversions move the transmission back...to clear the fire wall....which is what I'm going to do. Additionally I'm moving the mount for the rear trailing arm back to achieve appropriate cv angle of operation....

Now that I think about it more, the problem was the front mount dizzy in the drivers shoulder.
You should be good with 100mm cv's, it's not the angle that's the problem.

So I am not up on the cv joint tech.....which ones tolerate more angle?

My Kep sbf to boxster s adapter arrived. Its barely 1 inch thick. Should make fitting the small ford V8 even easier.

Here is the matching flywheel...pretty impressed with KEP parts. Hopefully they fit as good as they look

Looking good. What made you decide to go with KEP over some of the other options?

What axles are you planning on using?

Kep has a great reputation. Not aware of anyone else that does better. With boxster s 6 speed i am leaning toward renegades axles.

Check out the specific prepped ProAm 930 CV joints, good for deep plunging angle use; from McKenzie.com
We assembled ours on to Sway-Away 300m alloy floating style axles, and lubed with Krytox brand grease.
Going into use on our v8 build, which has non-stock angles.
