My best friend replaced his 986 engine (not IMSB failure) for $5200 ($3200 used engine, $1200 installation, $800 oil, plugs, coils, hoses, etc). Engine runs perfect and the car is tracked regularly with no problems whatsoever. Of course, a 987 would be a bit more money but it can be done for much, much less than $20K.
