As BYprodriver said, the motor alone could be 10k for a used one to 20 for a new crate motor from Porsche. Jake Raby at Flat6 Innovations could rebuild yours and it would involve an engine resleeving as well as the LN IMS bearing and other improvements. Check with them for prices as it varies depending on what you do. Then you need to factor in the R&R of the engines, new clutch, AOS or other items such as new water pump etc. You will need to likely keep the car for a while to get your moneys worth out of it as selling it will certainly be at a loss. BTDT!!
Whatever you do, make sure you don't let the car sit idle for a long time. The intermix will also get in the cooling system. I had to replace all the coolant lines (24 soft and 8 hard) for close to $1500 to get rid of the sludge. The rads had to be sent out for cleaning as well.
