For that kind of $$ you can take your car to Protomotive and have a twin turbo with 500 ponies. The conversion with Pauter rods, beefed up internal, etc used to run 32K.

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. Although my engine has only 8K miles on it, I have had NO problems except recognition by OBII. I sent my ECU to Todd & he re-flashed. Total cost to me was $35, which was shipping to Todd at Protomotive. He actually paid for the return shipping. My Hurricane PCA members LOVE the sound. Many who know wonder if I've stuffed a V8 in the rear. AND, it is slightly quick.
I'm badged as a C4S, which is how the car began.

Judging by the build sheet and exhaust, I belive it was built by Bob Holcomb;
Who I would put at the highest tier of Porsche motorsport builders in this country.
Not the same type of motor as a Protomotive street rod IMHO.
Never used MS road&race but have friends that have for OEM motorsport parts.
ETA: No affiliation with the seller, but to build a motor up from a GT3 case using those parts isn't
cheap.

A few years back I bought a crated PMS 993RSR long block from a race team in GA. No exhaust or throttle bodies/mngt but otherwise ready to go. That motor was 385hp at the fly wheel. They were asking $25-27ish and I paid 18-19K. Todayyou can buy a water cooled cup motor freshened for 20K or less. For $38 they should include a race car
