Took forever to find a FREE Boxster tub. Had to wait until one of our BoxsterSpec buddies crunched one at LV during a DE
Met with LAPD yesterday and bought 2 engines from them. One Cayenne VR6 engine for another conversion using a BoxsterS 6 speed and one low mileage 2.5 engine for a racer who popped an engine at CA Speedway last weekend with POC.
They will sell me the next Cayenne V8 they receive for 5k. The other engines were sold to me for 3k each.

I could see making this work, however from what I can surmise, there is no way to get all this to fit under the standard engine cover, which means that one would lose the capability to have a top. Trunk modifications may be necessary too? Maybe in a Cayman? Or a Boxster with a Zeintop?
Sure would be a blast to drive I'm sure!

The most you would lose is the smugglers box above the engine cover. No need to lose the top. From crank centerline to the top of the V8 intake is 17inches. Crank centerline to the top of a 996 engine is 15inches. The intake on the V8's is buried in between the heads down low

That is why they call it a DONOR car; it is just like donating a heart to someone. Wait, I only have one heart right?
