Sounds good to me. If you do it, let me know. I'll be your first customer.

Took forever to find a FREE Boxster tub. Had to wait until one of our BoxsterSpec buddies crunched one at LV during a DE
Met with LAPD yesterday and bought 2 engines from them. One Cayenne VR6 engine for another conversion using a BoxsterS 6 speed and one low mileage 2.5 engine for a racer who popped an engine at CA Speedway last weekend with POC.
They will sell me the next Cayenne V8 they receive for 5k. The other engines were sold to me for 3k each.

I could see making this work, however from what I can surmise, there is no way to get all this to fit under the standard engine cover, which means that one would lose the capability to have a top. Trunk modifications may be necessary too? Maybe in a Cayman? Or a Boxster with a Zeintop?
Sure would be a blast to drive I'm sure!
