V8 Conversion to a NON "S" Boxster

[Wendo]

This is my first porsche and so many designs in this car are seeming totally negative.
It is a 1997 Boxster 2.5l and I just can't believe the electronic nightmare waiting to speak to me.
They are beautiful and sexy, some say a total joy to drive.
I am happy owning it purely for the uniqueness.
But I am looking at a total engine and wiring changeout.
I am loosing the immobilizer first, that sucks, total rewire for that alone.
Yes, including window action from door handle. (plc)
It was headed to the garage for an engine conversion last week.
Now it is going to the SHOP for a total re-gutting.
I love the car, and all the people that are Porsche lovers.
But I just can't live with all the uncertainties.
How do you do it?
I am going to try to make this thing livable.
And powerful.

Wendo,
I am swapping an audi v8 in mine, its well covered with a search and seems the simple option, my car is a $1000 wreck so I dont have much in it and even less to lose, I sold my old motor for parts which brought my flywheel and clutch, I bought a whole running A6 v8 for $900 (about $750 US)
the hard bit would be removing the imob module as it works so many things, luckily mine is ok, I hope...
as you say it is a pretty straigh forward swap it just people bite off more than they can chew,
modify as little as possible to achieve the goal,
clearly set your goals first up,
Cheers Russ...
