I see no reason you can't bolt a honda motor and transmission into a boxster given the right amount of money and time.

Some guy wants to shoehorn a Corvette motor in his and says he's doing it, so a Honda motor should be even easier since it's probably 2/3 of the size.

I doubt Porsche will ever use a Japanese motor in their cars. They most certainly would keep the cash inside the country and put a VW or Audi motor in one though if it made financial sense to do so.

Just get ready for the onslaught of criticism from the Porsche purists who will say Porsche has sold out and the Boxster with a VW or Audi TT four banger in it is not really a Porsche any longer.

Actually, the water-cooled boys are still singing a sad tune about the new breed of Pcars and they'll just make the non-Porsche power plant model their second verse.
