Anyone know the names of any shops doing the rebuilds? Can’t imagine there are many of them. Thanks.

I have been rebuilding them since 2010 when I did my engine. I have one in stock that makes 300 HP just like in my 2000 Boxster "S"

Oooh, sounds like fun. Unfortunately I sold my 2000 S after the motor disintegrated 1) years ago. While I thought I’d never touch another Porsche after the IMS failure, they got so cheap that I dove in again. But I bought a 2000 base model with the 2.7 motor last year.

That's the bonus of investing in a upgraded engine, it will replace any stock engine without having to modify anything. If you wreck it just buy a roller that has a failed engine & transfer your upgraded engine to the roller of your choice.

These cars die only when the engine dies,or it gets totaled in a crash.
A properly upgraded engine will last your lifetime.

I must have misunderstood. So the engine you are selling will drop into a 2000 base Boxster that had a 2.7 motor in it?

Yes externally they are identical.

Yes, but... this engine has already addressed the design flaws of the original engine like the IMS, the weak con rod bolts, premature cylinder wall scoring, etc.,

And you will end with a 3.6 engine that should keep you smiling for many years to come :-)
