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
