The 3.6L engine mentioned was introduced in 2002 for the 996 model. It has appox 315-320hp in that car depending on year. Those cars had the Bosch Motronic 7.8 ECM. The 7.2 bosch ECM in your 01 S will have to be switched over to the 7.8 for the engine to run properly. You should also change over the complete exhaust to something that flows better otherwise the stock boxster exhaust will choke a 3.6L engine. For you, a realistic cost to switch over would be in the neighborhood of around 20 grand if you don't try to cut corners.
