Yes I know I'm about to get ripped. But I have been given a boxster 2.5 for next to nothing with a blown motor but it is an auto'tragic'. Since I need to do a 2.5 swap already, how much more intensive would it be to get rid of the slushbox and put in a normal 3pedal set up.
Can it be done? Yes. Will it be laborious? Yes. Will it be expensive? Very. Will you ever get your money out of it? No………………….
There is coolant mixed with the oil but the car runs so... I dont mind the slush box but would prefer manual. If its not cost effective I wont waste my time
I know you said it's blown, but it might be worth replacing the oil/water heat exchanger, as that could be the place the mixing is taking place on a car that old.

I could definately do that. I havent taken possession if it yet but very shortly it'll be here. I thought motor was toast and was told not to run it for long in that condition and engine should be replaced

Or simply some blown internal freeze plugs. A guy in Texas recently repaired a motor (oil/coolant mix) with this simple failure. The car is in the great white north after all.
