Boxster V8

[DarkStar]

No flame war... we're just automotive talking.

And I live in the Southeast. Plenty of LS engines from 4.8 up to built LSx. There's a couple 5.3s, an LS1 and an LS3 in new mexicos locals. .. plus tonnnnnssssss of people with parts galore. One of the LS1s I just saw today we're going for 800. No trans or ecu tho.

Like I said, I just picked up a 5.3 for 280. Local. He was asking 500, as I called and we spoke turns out it's a friend of a friend. So I got him down to 280. Hehe. Also New Mexico UPULLANDSAVE has quite a few.

It has nothing to do with converting it back to stock....if Achme came out with a 350 HP bullet proof engine that bolted in I would be up for it. That was one of the reasons I posed the question why not a Cayenne V8...or are they riddled with their own set of problems.

I like a spirited discussions but I am in no way starting a flame war. PS I looked around the Southeast and good LS's are no where to be found for 1200 bucks here
