HELP! Opportunity for an '04 X51 engine in my boxster

[germaniac]

Thanks for the enthusiastic response I am so wanting too but my bud in atlanta who is fortuntate enough to own a 997 and a few other toys keeps saying it's still a "boxster" -- now, in my opinion, the little Boxster is one of the sexiest porsches ever built..oh so true to the 550, so he can kiss my ass...plus, I am hoping if this Carrera GT tech does it right, it'll kill his 997 on the track lol,

Boxsters...they just do not get the respect they deserve....Porsche's initial marketing efforts maybe?

I digress...thanks again. That's the answer I am hoping for I will post pics or vid when it is done, er, if it gets done

The swap sounds exciting! BUT, what about the Boxster suspension and brakes - do you plan to upgrade those to match the power of the new engine?


You might want to read all of Tholyoaks posts on engine swaps before taking any action on this offer.

Personally , I would put the money in the SC -- IMHO of course...

Take care

Agree with sboxin, Sounds like an awesome package but the rest of the chassis and needs to be sorted to complete a project of that magnitude. Since you said "whatever you need" see how much more to throw the big reds off the S into the package.
