Unfortunately, swaps like this tend to degrade rather than enhance a car's resale value due to the now unique configuration of the car.
I believe your better off taking what you have and building on that. Example is taking a Boxster S and building up the 3.2 to a 3.6 with all the toys. Integration is much less of any issue and you end up with a better result. Still not cheap to do and you never get your money back.
