Just finished rebuilding a 2001 3.6 engine simular to the last one. Looking for a 1999-2001 996 or 2000-2002 Boxster with bad engine to buy & install rebuilt engine or will sell the engine outright for $14,000.

My Boxster S rebuilt engine has 53,000 miles on the rebuild still going strong, installing Fabspeed exhaust to enhance power & sound
