Why shove a nissan motor into a porsche, if you arent trying to go for more power. Part of the essence of the boxster and porsche is the sounds of the flat 6 engine. Starting with a shell you could put in a 3.4 or evem a big bore engine get plenty of hp and maintain the cars heritage.

If you want a nissan you should build a nissan.

But Truthfully if you start with a shell you will have way more invested in the car than it will ever be worth.

Sorry if you think I am being harsh!

BTW there is a company makes a kit to retrofit a LS engine, saw the youtube videos and went to the site.

Probably because it's a '99 Boxster worth $7k in good running condition, not a '53 550 or '86 959.
