Working on the engine swap a bit over the last couple weeks. I used the scrap rear half of my parts car to measure and fabricate a wooden model for the engine subframe. Today, I finally hauled it all to a local shop to have it fabricated. I have no idea how much it will cost
, but this guy does really good work and has a backlog of customers.
No fancy 3D scanning computer modeling Like NERV:
Boxster V8
I'm a bit more low tech, using a tape-measure, mallet, and scrap lumber:
In about a week, it should be done. After that I will be eager to pull the 2.5L engine and fit the V8. The work only begins when the engine is mounted in the car. Months and months before I expect to drive it.
