I'm so sorry, ouch. As someone who has blown up a Boxster engine before and looked at all the options I think your best bet is to find a local S motor and replace it (and no offence but don't get that one that has been in storage). Looking on Ebay S motors are $2,500-$3,000. It doesn't make sense to fix the weak spots with a $30,000 motor when you could buy ten motors for that price. A 911 motor would be awesome but no engine swap is simple. Even one that seems as straight forward as a 911 motor which is virtually identical. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you swap in a 911 motor and blow it up you'll have a much more expensive problem if you blow it up again.
