Jay,
No one has a crystal ball, and future values may change, but call Mark Kinninger at Black Forest and pick his brain about what the market is for these cars. He has built and sold a bunch of 3.6L street car conversions out of SCs and Carreras over the last 10 years or so, and would be able to answer a lot of your questions regarding cost vs. value, etc. His answers will be grounded in experiences that most of us don't have, because he is in the business of doing exactly what you are talking about (in between just fixing customer cars) except he doesn't keep the product for long, he just turns it over and goes on to the next one.
