Not sure why so much negativity? If you want to drop a chevy in go for it. Whats wrong with an alternative?

Keep up the good work . Ingenuity at its best

Don't think there is any negativity/animosity here. Just looking for the best alternative to a Porsche engine that is horrible. Great car shi$$y engine.
Granted we all have our opinions on the best solution. But the jury is still out. However, the only proven alternative is the LSx and thankfully BoxsterLS376 took us all along for the ride.
