Not_hans_stuck, AKA Hal...

Hal is dead right, plus there's a lot of other factors involved... Non use of the car, the conversion isn't a 90 day turn around deal. I bought a Max Jax lift, I wouldn't do the conversion without one, or at least for the 996 conversion. These projects always cost more than you plan

I could go on, but Hal nailed what your considerations should be based on. However the bottom line is the LS engine is a bullet proof engine that will give years of high performance fun.

I just completed a 4,000 mile trip in my 996/LS3, averaged 24.4 MPG, not too bad for a 480 HP engine...

Like Hal says, a complete blast to drive...
