02 Boxster S 3.2 motor
 

Let me give the run down, I bought a wrecked car with heavy front end damage I wasnt able to start it due to missing parts. Pulled the motor checked it over and found it had good compression on 4 cyls and no compression on 2 cyls after looking into it further it appears to have the IMS bearing failure. Now how this car ran good enough to wreck fairly hard and have this problem I have no idea.
But anyway its a mostly complete motor with accessories, it is missing the throttle body.
Looking for $1000 and buyer pays shipping or picks up, may be able to meet part way around Ohio area.

I have heard stories of unscrupulous storage lots switching out parts. If the engine numbers don't match the chassis, that's fraud

all serious offers considered.

Porsche engine numbers have not matched the chassis in years...........

So Porsche has no record of what engine # went into each chassis?

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH Boxster ENGINE NUMBERS. Car documents say engine code is;
M962265Y08601-10 as does the service book plus V5. It's a UK 2000 Boxster 2.7 BUT...The number stamped on the engine says; M96/2167110632 - Based on the fact that the service record shows no replacement engine and the code is badly stamped on the engine does anyone please know what is in my car? I had decoded it as a 3.2 2001 series 7...
