Boxster S with a Salvage Title

[reddog]

Just bought a 99 Boxster 95k, with a blown engine for $4700 (no salvage title)
haven't pull it apart yet...(hoping the heads are OK)...but expect to pay for a flat 6 short block, billet IMS and chain tensioners yada min...no re-mfg engine for me...

I was afraid of zero reliabilty if I bought a running one....so.....I'll do it right, now, with known problems, rather then worry... :ah:

Thats the way I would go if i was planning on keeping it. at least you know the history of the motor.

what size motor are you getting? 3.2, 3.4, a 3.6? might as well do it right
