Sold the Porsche engine and the exhaust parts surprised me how much they were worth.

So the conversion cost me about $10000.

So inquiring minds want to know: how many Corvettes have you surprised with it?

Two so far, the Dodge Chargers and Cadillacs are fun too. The Mustangs are a bit iffy some of them are pretty hopped up it is definitely a sleeper.

obthomas, please forgive me but when I said 986BS meant 986 Boxter S (I promise..) but I really wanted to see the pictures! Wow, thank you! :-)

PS: Is that an electric water pump?

No. You can't see the electric water pump in the pictures.

What you probably see is the water block taking the place of a water pump.

There is no room in this build for anything on the front of the engine.

So you used an electric water pump that is remotely located, and the water block handles the flows..?

PS: By any chance you got a couple of pictures of the rear end of the engine? Curious to see how far back the engine is, the angle of the driveshafts, how crowded is the area where the engine and gearbox mate?

Thanks again!

Correct on the water pump. The engine room ends up no more crowded than originally.

The transaxle is exactly in its stock position back to front. It is lower by about 1 inch.
