IMS bearings will haunt you Rymer. As shown in this ad.

 

RIP Rymer.

And oddly it's still overpriced.

 

Also if you research LS swaps into boxsters they all recommend starting with an S. Additionally the swap kits are almost $4k

not if you replace it with a high quality aftermarket bearing. Ive done the IMS swap on 2 different motors now.

for anyone interested, a used replacement engine will run you $9,600 for just the engine. I just replaced the motor in a 04 911 which uses the same engine.

Would a turbo Subie engine bolt up?

+1. If owners are educated they will replace the bearing as though it's a maintenance item and the motors will live for a very long service life.

 

Sadly a base boxster with a bad motor is worth maybe 2k. The two most likely fates for that car are part it out or try to find a salvaged car with good motor in an attempt to make it whole again. Even in perfect running order that car is only worth ~8k

 

As others have stated boxster s is a much better swap candidate for something that is going to make big power
