What I'd Like to See

Is somebody who is obviously more clever than I am who can make and sell a kit to allow a retrofit of some other engine into the Boxster if and when the existing engine fails. Don't misunderstand me, I'm quite happy with the car and the engine as is -- but I suspect my love affair will rapidly diminish if I get stuck with an engine replacement that costs twice as much as the car itself. I appreciate what Jake Raby is doing, but don't look forward to paying $18K for a new engine just to keep my car running. In that situation, if I could get a $1200 engine shoehorned in there, the cost savings would pay for a lot of labor in retrofitting it. I'm praying the IMS holds up . . .
