[QUOTE=boostiality]"Can someone please tell me why you would put an American engine a PORSCHE?
Yes. Torque. An LS7 has twice the HP, but three times the torque. Also, Boxster is a great, balanced car and having more power is just mo better. It's really that simple. Everytime you jab the accelerator you get a thrill.
Putting a v8 in a Boxster isn't what Porsche is about.
That's a very nice opinion, but tell me why you have that opinion.
Porsche has used smaller engines and created amazing out put out of them,they are the whores of engines.
What are the whores of engines? Chevys?
Keep it in the family,put a 3.4 in there.
Well, I have one in my Boxster. And yeah, it's nice, but...
I had a TPC supercharger on it - and it had a very nice V8 like push to it. But I wanted more. I put in the 3.4 (oh, I might add that the very NIGHT BEFORE I did the swap, I burned a hole in a piston in the 2.5). The supercharged car felt faster because of the low end torque (like how an early '70 Porsche 911T felt faster than the 911S ) but when you stand on it and shift at the redline, well, it is faster.
But 427 aluminum block V8? Whoah Black Betty Bam-a-lam!
If you put in the American engine you would also as well lose the Porsche whine, there is no substitute.
You really need to make a good point here. Maybe something about weight. Becuase instead of a nice shredding whine (and my 3.4 with some aftermarket exhaust/headers sounds pretty great) - bu tthe V8 would give you a nice rumbling growl. I grew in the San Fernando Valley. I've always been into sports cards, but some of my buddies had hot rods with all manners of v8s.
"There is no substitute". Well there's another saying, there's no replacement for displacement.
See thats the thing, I dont posses this brand loyalty thing at all...
It really sounds like you do. I don't. I pays me money, I get what I want. I am no purist, but I am a pig for power.
"if joe dirt wants a LS1 or a 350 in his boxster, let him. who are you to tell him what he should park in front of his trailer home. .......i think i just used my first warning." I'll tell you this, when I get it done I'll drive around in a mullet just to show ppl that you can redneck anything including a porsche even if you are asian

Joe Dirt? Mullet? Like I'm unsophisticated because I like SBC in a Boxster? Buddy boy - I've got a cellar full of aging Bordeaux. You might prefer a grenace, or a chianti or something, but I like muscle. And finesse.
