Pretty much. Its a re-spray, but not mismatched. Its all Artic silver 92U IIRC.

Its fun for me. The noises and torque are amazing. And should I be so inclined I could put an LS motor in it. The mounts are the same between LS and SBC*.


* the mounts I used are the three bolt SBC mounts, but you can buy identical mounts (4 bolt) that the LS uses and they would affix to the subframe in the same way as the ones I have. I've seen adaptor plates used, but TBH that might throw off the geometry a bit more than I'd like.


I'm not looking to sell and I wouldn't use that number as even a baseline for pricing. I just keep good accounting on all my projects. I guess if I was to sell this "thing" I'd start by LS swapping it and then find other LS swapped boxes and use that pricing. I don't think there are many people who would want a 4.3 in a boxster regardless of boost. LOL


EDIT: What did you pay for your boxster? Is it "numbers"? OEM pristine paint/body?
