A lot of people recommend the 3.4L swap for earlier Boxsters because of their relative similarity and "ease" of install. Also, I imagine, they like the purity of an all-Porsche vehicle.

What I want to know is has anyone done any more heretical swaps? Like a 2JZ-GTE or LS1 swap? I am sure, even though I am saying don't bother, I will get a lot of responses about how abhorrent people find the swap, but I am just kind of idly curious at this point and just want to know about it from a technical feasibility perspective.
