firstone Posted 7April, 2018 Report Share Posted 7April, 2018 If your friend hasn't already, I'd encourage them to read the pelican site run down that indicates which engines suit specific models best as alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelrik911 Posted 7April, 2018 Report Share Posted 7April, 2018 there is a tidy Audi V8 conversion in UK: https://www.facebook.com/V8-Boxster-build-1546283579001450/ I dont know but, in OZ, do Audi V8s cost anything? Or are they just as expensive as Boxster motors?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big end cap poking out of engine, suspect non-repairable...... he has acquired a 2.5 to go in, just working on transferring ancillaries etc at the moment, now needs a flywheel as the one on the old motor appears to be shagged...
