I'm getting lightheaded just thinking about the "relationship" of those two.
 Photo essay, perhaps? |

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

Toy? Or research for the next book?
Either way, I hate you.

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.

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? E |

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?

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

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!
