Thanks all! I'll put up some swap photos tonight... but this what was left of the old 3.2... https://teamspeed.com/forums/boxster...ine-today.html
sure if I went about it like the other handful swaps that are out there... It would have cost me some 20K... but I did the $$$ stuff myself, have a friend that has done a few of these who gave me invaluable guidance, get work at Stuttgart for next to nothing, bought the 3.6 block for a steal out of a burner with no top end parts on ebay taking a risk it wouldn't even meet compression numbers, have a friend with a PST2, and etc etc... I got these "expensive 45 HP" for less than what it would have taken to buy a complete used 3.2 from a dismantler and pay a shop full price for the work... If I had the money to pay 20K for swap, don't you think I would get rid of those ugly yellow headlights?
