Even if the bottom end is gone, couldnt you get it rebuilt, ie new crankshaft and bearings? or is that now hoe it works on the Porsche.
Ive even had a crank shaft reground in the past, but that wasnt too far gone.
My engine had done 113k, so I guess it comes down to whether a new or rebuilt bottom end attached to a 113k top end is better than a lower mileage engine swap?
I didn't know, but figured that mixing top & bottom ends was unrealistic, but if a swap was likely to be a better option than a rebuild then I wondered what my options were if I could find some patience & an extra couple of grand.
Google seemed to suggest sufficient precedent that physical engine bay space was available, so I was curious as to what else would be involved. If it's as simple as the 3.8 engine bolts in, then remap to the Boxster, then the costs don't sound like they'd be as scary as they would be if say the exhaust didn't fit or other oily type issues I don't understand...
I remembered that Gibbo had put GT3 bits onto his C2S, but didn't know the expense involved...
