Boxster LS swap
Hi! Going to be doing a LS6 conversion to my 2000 boxster,does any one have a place or different placeswhere to source out the different parts need and connection points for the cradle and braces, or a list of parts needed, on the cheap, maybe going to fabricate the parts my self, maybe someone could help with sizes of the braces etc. I just think renegade is just to pricey can anyone help!

We have serviced and sorted an LS swap Boxster (renegade Kit). This car was an LS7 so a little over kill. We did rectify a few issues and passed on what we did to Renegade.
You will end up with excessive axle shaft angles, odd shift cable routings, plenty of heat in the cabin, and (depending on you use for the conversion) some electronic irritations. Cheers

I did this conversion a few years ago with an LS3 motor. I documented most of the build on my You Tube channel and on 986forums.com:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKSGnHyrCXAgDtJnI9siQww?view_as=subscriber BoxsterLS376 introduction - LS3 conversion  - 986 Forum - for Porsche Boxster & Cayman OwnersShould be quite a bit of good info in there, feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Good luck J

Don’t ruin a good car. If you want that motor buy a Chevy.
