hi guys,

I have an '87 911 Carrera coupe that I have owned for 4+ years. Prior to my '87, I had an '82 SC.

One of my weaknesses is always perusing the classifieds. I have found a 1999 Boxster with low mileage (51k) that seems to be a very good deal. Periodically I think of moving into the modern car era (you know, a/c and defrosters that really work) and so I plan to go take a look at this car (and if purchased, will have to lose my 911 - yikes).

It appears many of you have gone the 3.4/3.6 route and I have found a number of references to conversions (including holyoak_34 pdf), but was wondering if anyone has gathered all the conversion info in one place (perhaps with rating of folks that perform conversions, engine sources, etc.). Moving to a 3.4/3.6 would be a near term requirement to offset the loss of my 911 :-).

Thanks in advance for a pointer to info/FAQ for conversions. And any other side comments about moving from an airhead 911 to a boxster.
