waiting to rebuild whitey!  Group: Retired Admin Posts: 15,852 Joined: 7-January 03 From: Indy Member No.: 100 Region Association: None  |
I haven't committed to anything on whitey's conversion yet...and my mind started to wonder. How 'bout a water-cooled Porsche motor? I've looked, there are a lot of choices available right now.
- 0 mile 2004 911 3.6 replacement motor (315hp) - 18k mile 2002 911 3.6 (320hp) - 34k mile Boxster S 3.2 (250 hp) - 39k mile Boxster 2.7 (217 hp) (prices vary from 4000 - 12000) *hp numbers from Kelly Bluebook dot com also - Boxster S 6 speed trans (bad 3rd gear) - Boxster 2.7 5 speed trans (40k ish miles?) I know we've discussed this before - and I KNOW there are issues. Something about rear suspension relocation...but can't remember the details. What about computer issues? Heat? I should be able to do modern heat, right? Exhaust - A Cayman or Boxster muffler? Custom headers (probably a must?) or maybe Cayman/Boxster headers? with some tweeking? I know there are more issues, and definitely don't know the answers...can we get a good discussion going on this topic? TIA -the dreamer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
