Water cooled Porsche 6-cylinder dimensions Options

[technicalninja]

I have a complete running 99 Boxster 5spd with a quarter million miles on it.

It's roachy enough to turn into an "Organ Donor".

I'm a sucker for 4 valve, modern digital FI, COP, and modern accessories.

I look at the Boxster and think "Wonder if I can fit that in the 914?".

I think it might be possible.

After conversion I would most likely replace it with a Boxster S or maybe even a 911 engine.

The drive package I'd rather use is a Boxster/Cayman S with the six speed but I own the 2.5L 5 speed now.

There is a good chance I can part the 986 out and make money as it came with a factory hardtop. I want to "vulture" the calipers anyway.

Are the water-cooled sixes dimensionally identical externally?

Have others tried before?

I did find this. At least one has been done!

One of the problems with the car was the shifter was baulky and the emergency brake handle didn't work. This blows "inspection" down here.

My son Bryan was tasked to check out what's going on.

When he pulled the center console the MONEY poured out...

Like an old fashion Vegas slot machine!

$47+ in CHANGE!

Fixed all of the problems and paid for lunch!
