how hard was the swap?
my interior is in pretty great condition! she's a manual :)
if i could have under $2k into the car total to either keep and drive or sell for $3500 or so, i'd be happy. i just engine swapped my s10's 2.5L bc it spun a bearing. we have an engine lift, 4post lift and every tool (okay maybe not the fancy porsche specific tools) you'd find in a normal commercial garage - so i feel confident i could probably do it
