Ask this again

Will the Cayenne engine just not fit or too low output or what ?

They seem cheep compared to 986 and up engines.....even 30 to 50% less than Boxster engines when price comparing ???

There was some discussion of it in this thread with pics of an engine in post #193:
Boxster V8 conversion !!! - 914club.com
...but then it got side-tracked into an LS swap instead.
Maybe Brad Roberts can elaborate a bit if you can track him down. I know he posts here from time to time.

I should scan the Cayenne engine just to compare. I have a twin turbo V8 here that is in an '06, that in the Boxster would be absolutely wild.

ABZ is not the best choice. Found that out after test fitting a couple other VAG V8 engines.
