Getting a used 2.7 engine and trans is not cost effective, I need most all the parts from a donor, so the only viable option is to buy another wrecked one, not parts from a salvage yard, as they charge way too much for everything.

I'd like to convert it to an EV, as I have about $5-10k of those parts already,
but that seems like a tough sell.

I also have a EG33 subaru F6 engine, a 3.4L V8, the problem is California does not like engine swaps, so a buyer is going to be from out of state.

Any suggestions, or better yet, some interest in having me work on it for you?
And btw, I've built many cars, a couple from the ground up, done engine swaps, built one EV, so I have skills and experience.

Thanks, Jack

a 2.7 is already a engine swap, since a 97 would have came with a 2.5

EV boxster would be nice as long as the range is reasonable.

Rob's 1999 Porsche Boxster this guy build a EV boxster from a 99 but the batteries kept degrading over a 11,000 mile period and only offers a 15 mile range now.
