I understand what you're saying Randall, but I was noodling out a schematic plan which began with the acquisition of a suitable 986 (preferably an 'S') with an already blown or tired motor, and not a car with existing financial baggage...
Still and though, given your situation (and mine, if my motor were to fail), a 3.6 transplant would make more sense to me; both financially and end result-wise. It's a known and accepted practice, wouldn't create huge issues with the car's balance and handling, provides a great platform for future HP additions; like turbo or supercharging... And pure HP from any source is going to require complimentary suspension and braking, unless you are solely interested in the straight-line stuff. Back in the Day here in Tucson, there was one or two 914's w/ the Chevy conversion and they were scary-fast until you reached the first turn. Then they were just plain scary.
Happy Motoring in the New Year,
Andy
