Engineless Boxster -- EV, Racecar, Subaru, Hybrid?

I'm trying to decide what to do with my 97 Boxster.
I purchased it without an engine or trans and intended to make it a electric race car,
but plans have changed and I need to sell the car.
I have some time to work on it, so I'm wondering what I can do that would be cost-effective before selling.

Getting a used 2.7 engine and trans is not cost effective, I need most all the parts from a donor, so the only viable option is to buy another wrecked one, not parts from a salvage yard, as they charge way too much for everything.

I'd like to convert it to an EV, as I have about $5-10k of those parts already,
but that seems like a tough sell.

I also have a EG33 subaru F6 engine, a 3.4L V8, the problem is California does not like engine swaps, so a buyer is going to be from out of state.

Any suggestions, or better yet, some interest in having me work on it for you?
And btw, I've built many cars, a couple from the ground up, done engine swaps, built one EV, so I have skills and experience.

Thanks, Jack
