That is insane and since its a 2001 I would also want its ims bearing replaced which parts wise would cost right around 3,000$ which is the same price as a 987 engine.

my question is this, What would I need to do to get a 2006 porsche boxster base engine to work in my 2001 boxster base. I need it to work fully and be smog legal and functional, and I am sick of variocam issues and ims fears hence why I kinda like the idea of a new engine.
There aren't $3,000 in parts for just an IMS replacement.
