Has anyone done an engine swap??? I've been getting quotes of around $16,000 (canadian dollars) for a rebuilt boxster S engine (Labour included). Fair price??

Hi,
That's not easily accomplished as the
M96/20 engine in your car is non-egas and the
M96/21 engine in the 'S' is egas. It can be done, but is usually cost prohibitive involving changes to the DME, Fuel system, throttle body, throttle pedal, etc. Probably more than double the cost of swapping an
M96/02 engine which is a non-egas 3.4L 911 engine, and practically Plug & Play...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
