jsceash, Great info! Thanks! That is exactly the kind of info I am looking for.
Sounds like a 04 or later S model would be a good starting point. Yes, I know that putting anything other than a Porsche engine in will require a lot of engineering on my part, but I am prepared and capable to do so. I have a lift, welder and metal working tools.
350hp would probably be plenty for me realistically. I want it to be a car I can drive on the street any day, and probably take to a track once in a while to scare the crap out of myself.
I have been researching the Subaru options more. Looks like you can easily get a motor to that performance for 6 to 10K. Also looked at other options. Audi RS 6 engines can be had for $3000 salvage. That might bolt right up. Anything I do will require figuring out making the engine ECU play with the Boxster. But I expect it will stand on it's own and control the engine while the Boxster ECU takes care of the chassis.
I don't really care about resale. Plan to do everything but machine work myself. Just something fun and fast!
