I've got a 3.3L flat six in the garage that needs a new home..
I would agree with the others, stick with air cooled, and why even a 6,
too much weight in this car is no fun.
Why turn a 914 into a boxster, with that heavy motor, you'll need P/S, P/B too,
and A/C needs a radiator and so does the motor. Just get a boxster,

Already have a boxster. The photo you posted is hella funny.....conversions gone really bad.
Everybody has an opinion about what they think is best in their conversion.
And everybody is an idiot if you don't do it 'their way', until someone does it right, now suddenly they are a genius. I'm neither. Just trying to gather information on what has been tried. All conversions are problematic projects.
The intent of my post was to see if anyone in this forum has run into someone that has done it or at least tried it.If you know of someone locally, pass it on. The swap has been done in Austrailia, and Switzerland, and a totally ridiculous makeover (IMHO)by Wicked Garage, which really wasn't an engine swap at all. I would think that you would NOT need power brakes, power steering. Renegade has stuck an LS-5 and boxster 6 speed tranny without PS, PB.
