well I don't have the dinero for a boxster trans, certainly not for a 997 trans.
but interesting, a LS3 v8 will fit in the boxster?

That is a shame. A 6.2L, 430hp Boxster would be a potent ride. With a cast aluminum block, the LS3 is very close in size and weight to a Boxster 2.5L motor. You would need the 997 trans to handle the high torque numbers without scattering parts though. Renegade is working on one of these transplants now.
