This sounds sort of familiar . . . I'm putting an M96 engine in my '68 911 using all Boxster components (except the engine, of course). I think you might be best suited using all Boxster parts if you're going that way anyhow. I have a feeling that boxster hubs might be compatible with 914 axles but I haven't checked that yet, and can check on the compatibility of a 901 and an M96 block tomorrow. As for engine management, that wouldn't be an issue with access to the whole car.
Money issues- Assuming that the Boxster is in running condition, $4-5K would be about right if you can pull front and rear suspension and the drivetrain. The good news is that, if you know what the heck you're doing, it should work.
Edit: I also agree with the Subie swap. I'm in the middle of one now (into a '71 914) and purchased the engine, ECU and engine harness for $150.
