I can definitely see that side of it, dw1. There is certainly a place for this conversion under circumstances such as those you describe. The right set of circumstances are key - we cannot devalue that which has no value to begin with. It's a pretty steep hill from the car you describe to a "fully Porsche" resurrection, we all know that. It's become frightfully expensive, and not just inside the engine bay. Something like this kit can absolutely serve to lessen that burden financially.

I think this is another excellent application for this kit, along with the one Michael described earlier, wherein one has an underpowered, mostly original 912 or something, and wants some cheap and dependable (and entirely reversible) significant power boost, keeping the original engine on a shelf if there ever comes a time to sell. Both are, to me at least, excellent use cases for this kit. Some others under discussion, maybe not so much, but in these two cases at least (and maybe more) it's a great fit.
