the swap is actually not all that difficult. it's tricky getting the computer programmed right since there are so many versions. the only really tough part about putting the motor in is the fact that the intake plenums sit higher in the engine bay, so the motor mounts must be lowered 2" to do this. FVD makes a kit.
anyway, you are basically looking at 5-6K plus the cost of your motor (anywhere from 6 to 15k for an e-gas version to match your boxster). 3-4k of this price includes 1500 for the computer programming, 1200 for modified headers (to mate w/ stock exhaust route) and a couple thousand for 'unknowns' like broken injectors, coil packs, etc. on your motor (you buy a used motor, stuff's bound to get broken during removal / shipping).
the result, though, is a pretty serious machine.
