I have never driven a V8 conversion or in 1 for that matter. I know it is a chop job even at best where you loose an overdrive gear and KILL weight distribution, so far as the suby and rotary are concerned neither 1 is a "cheap" fix or project. The only engine swap I would even consider is the 911 6 as you then become a pure breed that is WORTH something. I have RIDDEN in a 6er and it is AWESOME!!! (a 2.7 with Webber's) fast torquey and sexy sounding.
I have graduated through all T4 step up hop ups and the pieces I have assembled are about as good (and CHEAP) as you can get and ( 95hp VS 125hp) is a BIG change......
I say all of this NOT to sell my goods but to save you from spending yours fruitlessly or on a never ending project that will wind up on jack stands NOT rolling as it should. My teener will go 0-60 in 6 and change seconds with my current power and top out about 125mph, spins at 6k all day long (you must balance the rotating assembly though) else you ll explode.
My 2 cents, hell it takes me 1 hr to remove my engine and a 1/2 day to disassemble and reassemble with new bearings....with 2-3 months of summer driving left I may just keep it till winter....I have budgeted 3 months after the new year for the swap.
