Thom, sorry to hear of this.

As the mileage on an average 986 continues upward, the likelihood of engine failure becomes all too real.

A 100K mile 2001 3.2L used engine can be bought for $3500 + $1500 swap by your local shop and the car could be back on the road for $5K. This would last another 10 years at 5K mi/yr.

Best of luck with the XK8!
