I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

I just pulled the stock M96 engine out of the donor Boxster and put it on the scales. The fully dressed engine without flywheel/clutch/pressure plate weighed in at just over 450lbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) STUPID PORSCHE!!!
From the research I've done, the twin cam, turbo 2.5 Subie motor should weight around 320lbs which includes the exhaust manifolds, turbo, intercooler core, PS pump, flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch disc. I haven't weighed the exact engine that will be going into the car because there are still a lot of pieces that need to be fabbed yet, but I predict a 100lb savings with the Subaru motor.
