The LQ4 swap was simply the more economical choice for this Porsche owner.

I didn't see any hp claims after the aftermarket goodies, but a stock Vortec 6000 at 300 hp is not even close to a 996 Turbo (450 hp) as the seller claimed. Nice looking car, but undesirable engine for the swap. IMHO.

Never heard of this swap to be economical.
