WTB: Boxster engine
My friend's 1998 Boxster engine just went kaput. He's looking for a replacement. Must be healthy!
PM me with details if you have one for sale. I bought this car new in 1998 and want to see it on the road!

Out here on the west coast Vision Motorsports seems to have a lock on these motors - give Dwain a call.

Have you looked at Ebay, Craigslist? Asked Woody? 20th St. Auto (in Phoenix?) Have you googled "used Boxster engines?"
Expect to do some work before you can install--water pump, rear main seal, motor mount, and, of course, the IMS bearing. Maybe the AOS, too. Probably a tuneup would be a good idea, too.
Wish I could have found one this nice when I did my replacement engine:
