Thanks for the update. As much as I love all-things Porsche, there is something interesting about a GM-powered Porsche. And it's not just the power, but also the sound. Granted, it's not as though a flat-6 from Zuffenhausen doesn't sound glorious. But an American V8 sounds great too.

Agree - my 50,000-mile bone stock 3.4 is running perfectly aside from a little noise when cold at startup that goes away after about 60 seconds. I wonder what the total cost will be on Apollo's LS2 swap would be. Hard to believe I couldn't get $5-$8k for my perfectly fine running engine. Only worried about the conversion cost.

Cost will just depend on what engine you start out with and what your power goals are. If you're just doing a straight swap, maybe $10k or so for all of the pieces minus the labor. I don't know personally, since I am doing a twin turbo set up on mine, so my costs will be a bit different, and also not something I really want to know how much I am spending anyways haha.
