Thanks Blue. I tried to pull a vacuum but just get major gurgling. So I think this one is toast.
On the bright side, I really wanted 3.6!

I have just what you want in the parts for sale section.

Yes you do, but at twice the value of the car, the wife is probably correct this time.

Chevy makes a good engine. They usually go for less than $500 running. LOL

Let me count the ways that is unacceptable....

Mine had an oil/coolant mix issue too. Took out the 3.2, skipped right by the 3.6, and wound up with a 6.0. So far I'm all in at about $9k, but oh boy does it sound good!

I mean, Porsche isn't the only engine manufacturer; there are other cheap, reliable, plentiful engines out there.

I'm at $9850 (car/parts/engine/paint/top/tires/suspension).

It'd be MUCH cheaper and easier to do a K24 swap. I kinda wanna get either another Box or a Cayman and run that one till the engine goes pop and swap a Honda engine in it. Shoot with that honda engine you could put oil in it then weld the lid shut ROTFLMAO.


EDIT: if you wanna "stay in the family" The audi 4 banger works well and is quite powerful. But its not cheap either IMPO.

Maybe just go all-out and put a KIA in it.
You're kidding, right? Honda is appliance, soulless appliance, the antithesis of Porsche.
