Mike, you bring up other Boxster motors.
There's also 3.4 and 3.8 (Jake Raby only?) that I've seen.

Is the 2.x-base 3.x-S the only semi-block (bore) change in the lineup?
The 3.2 really doesn't look like there's any room left for bore increases.
In fact it looks like the 3.2 is pretty tight on cooling already.

The 2.5 changed stroke to get to 2.7 and that's how I'm guessing they did 2.9.
Call them small-blocks.
Were 3.2 > 3.4 > 3.6 (> 3.8) similarly all the same bigger-block
with stroke-only changes between?

Was there ever an actual full-block change in the Boxster heritage,
say like when the 981 came out? (718 obviously).
Or did the one original block do the whole 20 years
with a cylinder-only recast for the S resizing?


Side questions for you all:
- Is it true that they are fitting a 6-cyl to the 718 soon?
- And if they did, would sticking the original 2.5 in, or say a new 2.2 6-cyl satisfy you?
