Have you tried advertising it on rennlist? I think you get a bigger audience there.

At this point, you might find a Boxster with a blown engine and install it. I think a car with a 3.6 in it will be a lot easier to sell then the engine itself. I work with a lot of shops that work on Porsches, and I haven't seen anyone put the money into a 986 Boxster in years. Five years ago yes, now nothing. The sad truth is that it is hard enough to get someone to do the basic needs on a 986, let alone an engine. Most just get scrapped now if the engine fails. You could probably get $20k for a nice 986S with the engine.

GLWS!
