I used to "experiment" on a frame of an old Jeep CJ-5 that I bought for $400. Bobbed, boxed, lowered spring perches, etc.
If this is a learning exercise, more power to you. Just be sure to have a pro check it out before you go driving it on public roads.
I hope you got a cheap boxster shell to experiment on, because you will probably need a second go at this. No offense intended, but based on the questions you're asking, it doesn't sound like you really know what you're getting into. Treat the first one as a learning exercise, then do it "right" on the second frame....or get the assistance of a pro who has done this type of thing before.
The stretch in that video was:
1. Stretching the floor, not the engine compartment - a simpler task
2. Ghetto
If you want a powerful engine conversion, do an LSX swap, as mentioned before. More power than the dated BMW V12 and no frame stretching needed.
