You might consider contacting Porsche in a situation such as this. I would network there and be prepared for a long haul but they should be able to assist with determining authenticity and appropriate engine to match. What you may end up with in the end is you have a chassis and another guy has an engine... someone has to sell for the two to be united. If you're interested in historical preservation of these cars for future generations, it should be between parties to determine the best home. A private collection where it hides for another 50yrs may not be the best home the same as an engine that isn't correct. Opinions may vary but that's my $.02.
Best of luck.
