Lots of very cheap low mile 4.2's out there. Audi's go for pretty cheap at the auction and you could probably find one for a few hundred. I like my 3.4, but it could use some torque. I believe the 3.4 and 4.2 are close when it comes to horsepower. I would imagine the 4.2 has lots more torque though. There might be lots more work getting the 4.2 into a boxster, but it's probably thousands of dollars cheaper and faster too.
As far as the search for a truck goes, the 05-07 6.0 can be a great truck once you put some good head studs on it and get rid of the egr. That generation of ford truck is the biggest bang for the buck right now. Word is getting out on them and finding lower mile ones for cheap will be harder to get. Heck any diesel made pre 2008 is getting more desirable among the diesel crowd. After 08, diesel engines are getting so complicated and expensive it's almost not worth the price over a gas motor. I'm keeping my 7.3 until I die.
