base 986 engine swap options

Hi everyone, I have been looking around the forums and google about 986 engine swaps and have read the LS3 and Subaru threads, also I am currently reading on the Audi v8 and 996 3.6 engines. I have contacted Kennedy and they also mentioned Chevy and Ford small blocks?

I was wondering would these work on a 5 speed base boxster? I am in the market for one in my area but they are all base models. One is a 97 5 speed with about 60k miles. The S with the 6 speed I have yet to see and have been waiting for....

What are the options in future engine swaps for a 5 speed?
Or should I just save for a boxster S as Ive read the 6 speed trans is stronger.

I am just looking to get to about 350hp or maybe 400 to be greedy, but 350 should be good for a nice daily driver. What is the best bang for buck option?

Just planning ahead before making a purchase. Your help is greatly appreciated!!
