Got a little something in the mail today!
Thank you very much for selecting this monstrous turd of a track toy as contest winner for November! A lot of headache, second-guessing, and moments of regret went into this build since the days when my Sam and I were throwing around wild ideas at the bar. So it honestly feels amazing to not only have the thing running and driving, but to also get some recognition for the effort it took to make it happen.
Here is the first trophy earned by the Squonkwerkz Porsche Boxster. Feels so damn cool to be able to say that!

Looks like I’m going to be looking at Maserati engines on eBay now ? Sounds so good!

If you do go that route, feel free to hit me up for advice. Hardest part about this swap was simply not having the information needed to pull it off.

Sick build man! Surprised you can get a Ferrari engine for just $3k. That sound alone makes it worth way more than the typical LS swap. Sounds mental, and not much of a weight penalty. Awesome job! ??

Thank you! The engine itself is actually lighter than the original flat 6. The reason the car's weight went up by 60lbs is largely from the steel brackets I made to hold everything together. Once I teach myself to work with aluminum, I might rebuild some of them to bring the weight down. Would love to see it scrape just below 2500 again.
