It is very attractive to find a $3k salvage title roller 2.5 ,put Nervs V8 in it and it will be way better than any 3.2l Boxster S for a reasonable price.
Just a suggestion.
Without the Nerv V8 ,who wants a roller 2.5 Boxster -nobody- they just get parted out.
But if the Nerv v8 is not California Smog legal - the market size/opportunity is chopped in half ?
Some weeks ago I posted a link to a local Craigs List Boxster with an incomplete Audi V8 conversion.Nobody seemed interested.
Then you end up with an est. $18,000 salvaged title car. I think some insurance companies won't even insure salvaged cars.

Plus modifying the brakes and suspension cost too.

When my motor goes, I'm dropping a V8 in it. I want min 400 HP too.
