LOL.... come on a Boxster with a type 1 VW engine? Seriously? You realize a stock 1600cc engine makes about 60 hp right? A car like you're suggesting would make a moped with a weedwacker engine seem quick.

Garage
If you want cheap repairs with an engine NEW cheaper than a boxster motor USED wait to see if Brad Roberts can finish his boxster LS1 V8 conversion. Not only that you will have some serious power and the motor weighs only slightly more than the M96.

as stated previously the type 1 would not be cheap the conversion would be pricey.

after that sure it would be cheaper to repair but at what cost? drivability? fun? pleasure?

the word Conversion is synonmous with $$ (generally)
