Replace engine in Boxster? 2.5 to 2.7?

Hi there!

I´m new here on this forum and I would like to have some advices when it comes to a possible engine swap. I bought a Boxster -99 with 107k miles on the engine. The previous owner hit something and the r/h fender and the radiator was damaged. He continued driving home and as an result of that, the engine over heated.

When I now start the engine it blows white smoke and knocks. I would probably need to replace the head cylinder and the head gasket but I might consider buying an replacement engine instead. I looked at some engines and I thought that I might as well buy a 2.7L which is a better engine.

Does anyone have any experience in this? And can I just swap the engine to a 2.7 without any trouble?
