RN, I called those guys to put some dollars and cents on paper. First of all the conversion kit alone is about even with the cost of buying a used Boxster S engine. Actually a bit more if memory serves. And that's before you even buy the donor engine. If you want some big power with that V8, tack on another $5-10K. But on the bright side you can get your oil changed at Jiffy Lube and no more costly rebuilds (air cooled) or x number of ways to fail (water-cooled).
Tarek. My condolences. What does it cost to get a similar Boxster into your country (tarrifs, etc.)?
