How much $$ do you figure to have the swap completed?

fastpat 08-23-2006 04:49 PM

I'm getting lightheaded just thinking about the "relationship" of those two.:D

Photo essay, perhaps?

nostatic 08-23-2006 04:50 PM

Sure you don't want to buy a stock motor for it and turn it into a spec racer? ;)

Icemaster 08-23-2006 04:50 PM

Toy? Or research for the next book?

Either way, I hate you.

Icemaster 08-23-2006 04:52 PM

Just kidding.

I was actually watching that engine. Congrats, looks like a nice combo.

gassy 08-23-2006 04:53 PM

Have fun man!

Rick V 08-23-2006 04:58 PM

OH YEAH!
Now it's time to buy all the chasis stiffening thingies you can find/make

deathpunk dan 08-23-2006 05:26 PM

That is a great deal on the 997 engine...considering the local dealer here sells remanufactured 996 3.4's for $6500...but those don't come with all the ancillaries..

The MAACO paint job doesn't look bad, either.

What a killer car this will be.

kaisen 08-23-2006 05:26 PM

That looks like fun when it's done, and a headache doing it.

Both were a great deal! Can you even buy a 80K mile 3.2L Carrera motor for that?

Wayne,
Just be sure to document the entire process for your next book. Good luck, you're going to have fun!!

legion 08-23-2006 05:40 PM

So...jealous...

Although the Boxster is listed as having a 4 cyl.

But where will you get all of the parts to get that to work, Wayne? :rolleyes:

Dantilla 08-23-2006 05:43 PM

Wow. You did good. My wife wants a Boxster in that exact color. With that engine, you're in for lotsa fun.

syncroid 08-23-2006 05:53 PM

You're going to love it! That puppy is going to sing! I think the swap is fairly straight forward.

legion 08-23-2006 06:00 PM

I get it now...

Thanks Wayne--just in time for my birthday!

HardDrive 08-23-2006 06:13 PM

Write the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG, yer killin me.

Every since I got my Boxster I have had these evil urges. A little devil appears on my shoulder and whispers, "engine swap. your wife will never know....... "

:D

legion 08-23-2006 06:16 PM

And my little devil keeps saying "wife swap, your engine will never know......."

MBAtarga 08-23-2006 06:21 PM

Yes, please do - write the Rebuild Your 915 Transmission book!

Porsche-O-Phile 08-23-2006 06:45 PM

That is effin' A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

Now turbo it. :)

Even with 125K miles, that car is a good deal. Gonna' be a heck of a lot of fun.

Nice to see that the $$$ I spent recently are being put to good use - enjoy!

mikester 08-23-2006 06:56 PM

So, that's like for me right?
