LS engine is little hard to shoehorn into a boxster, even a 996 is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
If doing an LS I'd start with a 996. Still not cheap and easy, the renegade kit alone will run you $7-9K IIRC. A guy on YT did it for $17K paying a guy $45/hr, used engine, etc. I'd say DIY about $12-13K is the cheapest the project will cost you, still it's way cheaper than a $25K- $40K for a new MY96 engine. A boxster would be still a loser for resale, a 996 might be break even. |
