hehehe man an LS motor in a 911 would be just nasty. The LS motors are amazing power makers.... I just don't think I could do that to a Porsche, and I am far from a purest.
At the same time picturing a nasty 934 wide body and a 500HP LS2 would be just insane... all 2400 LBS of it >)

built 2.5L 5K
V8 heads W/cams 2K
GT turbo 3K
ECM 1K-1.5K (min dyno tune)
Custom IC 1K (with pipes and mounts)
Injectors 400-600
This would be a conservative engine build cost I think, then the custom fab to get it to mount and mate to a 915 or G50...
bang for the buck..... LS V8 FTW
