Boxster Subaru conversion interest? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I love the 914 conversion. Out of curosity, how pennies would one have to save for that. I had a '75 914 that I wish I kept and converted (the guy who bought it from me turned it into an electric car).

The cost to convert a 914 or a Boxster is basically the same. If anything, the 914 has the potential to be more expensive because you have to add a radiator system that never existed, not to mention the inevitable rust issues associated with almost every 914 in existence. We are currently finishing up putting a Subaru 3.3 H6 engine in a 914 using a Boxster 5 speed transaxle. Should be a pretty awesome car when finished.
