Boxster V8

Sounds interesting but like the others said, only 350 HP barely makes it worth while
unless the price is cheap enough.

A replacement engine for someone thats had a catastrophic failure for under 6k might seem like a viable alternative.

Much more than that and you could buy a newer used Boxster with decent miles on it and sell the old one as a roller for the racing folks.

What sort of price point are you thinking for this Audi engine.

I assume your talking about a rebuilt, overhauled Audi engine?

Definitely keep us posted on progress with pictures, specs etc.

If the entire operation could be accomplished for 4 to 5$ K (not including labor) 350HP would be very attractive to this S owner when one day my Boxer has no fight left in him.

agreed, given that other solutions are that much just for the conversion kit (not including the engine). Best price I've been able to come up with for a mild, 475 hp LS conversion is about $12k, so HIGHLY unlikely this solution will be under $10k.

Note - another thing often left out is the price of the custom exhaust work that will need to be done...plan on $1500 for that too.
