V8 Conversion to a NON "S" Boxster

[Wendo]

Mr 78, thats not a bad price for doing it right, with some advise to boot, thank you.
I have another issue now.
I have been told that the 2004 4.2L BFM will not even fire without the Audi auto tranny plugged in.
How are the mechanics getting around that?
I only planned to use the original controller.
I have been trying to make contact to a supplier of base ECU's with wire kits.
The engine schematics in the self study programs show no electrical connection to the transmission.
Maybe I need to order some literature, a must anyhow.
I was hoping to get a pop out of it for encouragement.
I need to read more build stories I think.
Thank much for the flywheel tip.
Drive safe.

I can't help you with any specifics on the BFM. There is a guy swapping one into an Audi on Motorgeek.com. It looks like he tested his engine outside the car.
Clipped from his thread:

Here's his build:
4.2l BFM help -- now build thread :: motorgeek.com
He hasn't posted to his thread lately, but he recently uploaded to YouTube. If I were working on a BFM swap, I'd try contacting him thru YouTube or his build thread.
Here's his YouTube:

From what I have read, it looks like the BFM will present some challenges, but should be a good engine if you work it out.

That's all I have for you today.
