I went to there website and it says 1 year 12K mile warranty RND Engines – The Industry's Only M96/97 Engine Direct Replacement Program middle block. Maybe it does not apply to these, just repeating what is says on the home page advert advert.

It also says no core charge and free shipping for these motors also!

L&N sells them and they say that RND clearance engines have no warranty. These are supposed to be exceptionally good Reman'd engines and the clearance price is probably something in the neighborhood of $5 grand off.

Just went to the website, you're correct. They have a 90 day warranty. And no core! Optional 2 year warranty is $5000.

Don't delay, the offer expires tomorrow!

I'd really like one, but the money is just no available.

Yeah I didnt read all the fine print, but reading over the build parts they are new engines when finished. Ims, rms, waterpumps ect.... I didnt see an option to have any type HP upgrades thought.

Another though if you want more hp why not a big bore kit? Cant rember which company, but there is one does a big bore kit for boxster.

I know your worried about the money ect... but you are talking about spending the money to put in an LS1 engine, that is pretty expensive.

Flat Six Innovations offers several stages of engines for the Boxsters and 911s.
Big Bore and increasing levels to full race engine. Probably expensive, but if your willing to drop $10K to 15K on a LS1 conversion, you might be able to go with a Big Bore Kit and keep the car true to its heritage for similar money/or not. Anyway might be something to investigate.
