I worked on getting the 3.4 ready to be installed in the boxster and I also performed some preventive maintenance. I mostly followed the instructions from "101 boxster projects" on swapping a motor. The only thing I differed from so far was the instillation of the vacuum hoses. I didn't like Wayne's plumbing on the vacuum hose for the brake booster, so I'm going to attempt a different way. I kept the connection in the rear and used the 996 hose that connects to it. I plan on cutting off the 986 fitting and connecting a hose to it.

I have some other ideas if it turns out that there's not enough room for my way. I also used the 996 gas tank vent valve, which seemed to fit better to me. I used some extra hose to protect the line from chafing against the A/C compressor.

Everything else was pretty accurate and helpful on preforming the swap. I don't like the way he plumbed his fuel lines though, and have ideas to improve on what he did.
This is what you get with cheap Chinese headers. Otherwise they fit ok once I ground down the bolt head.

Here I am so far. Needs a little bath but otherwise ready to install once I get the LN IMS pro installed. I also replaced the water pump, sparkplug tubes, spark plugs and 160 thermostat.
