986 to 987 engine swap

what Boxster engines are compatiable swaps from an existing 2004 Boxster S?
If this is already answered in a thread elsewhere please point me to it.

Here is a good starter tutorial on engine swaps (courtesy of our site owner):

987 to 2008. 09 and above have DFI and could be quite difficult.
I had my 2001 swapped to a 07 987 S engine.
