[QUOTE=Topless;300345]Bingo! The Chevy LS motor is as bulletproof as it gets. Scott and I are friends and share some of the leadership duties in PCA Zone 8. If he says it's not quite ready... it's not ready. To put one of these motors in a base Boxster I would want S cooling with 3rd rad and larger diameter plumbing, S brakes, and "S" 6spd trans with LSD. The 5spd is not ready for this kind of torque and would overheat and grenade in short order IMHO. Find a nice "S" roller and have at it.

More likely a Turbo/Gt3 6-speed if you follow Porsche's upgrade philosophy.
