A late model Boxster S would have some advantages in that the brakes are better and the power is tolerable, but frankly I kind of like the idea of having a motor that has essentially unlimited upside for tuning, hence my initial inquiries regarding the 2JZ which is probably the best made engine block ever sold (800hp+ on stock internals).
If a Grand National V6 will fit, I can hope that a VQ would fit. The VQ has the advantage of a really dedicated tuning community and being a more modern design. Frankly I don't mind chopping up my Boxster a bit, it is not like its current sale value is all that high (~15Kish?)
It doesn't really make sense to do the 3.4L mod from a cost perspective. I would probably just sell my current Boxster and buy one with the mod already done, since they don't add much value to the car.
