Thumbs up Engine Install Options

Hello again,

I ended up having to put in the same 2.5 motor, but it did find that for around $7000 you can buy a complete motor and harness from a 3.2 and can install one in the "normal" boxster. I would normally have pushed for the larger motor as I have done on previous intentional engine projects but for the porsche my concern was resale value and I am concerned that the majority of porsche buyers want as close to original vehicles as possible. I might find another boxster with a blown engine and do the conversion because the engine removal and installation only took me 3 days from start to finish and the vehicles are engineered to not make it hard to do so we shall see. I am sorry that this might not be the info you might want but let me know if you have any more questions!
