Here is the short answer:

The 3.2 will "bolt right in" to the 2.7 slot.

The difficult things to handle are:

Clutch-you will need an S clutch and figure out if it will mate to 5 speed trans from reg Box.

Emissions-if you are in CA or MA, you need to talk to Smog shops to get their take on what issues you will have to handle.

Exhaust-need the S exhaust for the S motor. Try to buy complete engine/exhaust unit.

ECU Computer. Will need to use S computer.

Who will install--Hint, Porsche dealers will likely not touch this with a 10 ft pole.

Cost-Used engine is how much with right parts? Porsche will sell you a replacement engine but will require a like CORE engine back.

Interesting issues-hope someone who has done this chimes in!
