I say to each his own.
.....Being a purist is appreciating the sound/feel/design of the 911 engine from it's early years to current 997. ---->Porsche engine is unique in sound and torque/etc.which is something I like/admire.
Throwing a different engine in the back might be a fun for some but it devalues the car and just isn't what I would ever consider buying.
But who cares what anyone thinks as long as you don't mind a much smaller buyer market and lost money out the window when selling.

Not saying zero considerations are being taken into account, and yes everything costs money, consider that folks look at ownership of these cars very differently.

So a few setbacks, but a lot of progress.
turns out the guy that I’m working on doing this with can’t program a Porsche to work with an aftermarket ECU. Contrary to my understanding, lol so I went elsewhere for the computer and harness, and things are slowly moving along again.
picked up a Motion Raceworks BOV, because only the best. lol. A PLM alloy crank pulley and getting everything slowly together now!
