If Your Boxster Engine Died (out of warranty)

would you:

A) Call it a day, sell as a roller and walk away

B) Rebuild it or get another used/new Porsche engine (can be non-Boxster engine)

C) Put in a non-Porsche engine

D) Other (please state what this would be)

P.S.

If you have decided to replace the original please post the costs and if you upgraded in any way.
That would make this thread useful in searches.

P.P.S.
for those of you who are curious, cost to go with a Chevy V8 would be ~13-14K with labor, not including used or new donor motor... that could range $4K-$10K+
