Oh yes! Scott is in the final stages of development on this. He already has an LS powered 996 which had an m96 motor also. The major issues of cooling, motor mounts, trans adapter, electronics are sorted. The devil is in the little details that separate a "project car" from a bulletproof everyday driver. It is close and he has a drivable LS Boxster prototype now. The V8 actually weighs less than my 2.5L.
