Default 944 5.3 Swap

I've been toying with this idea for a few years and was looking for some info.
My sister has an older 83 944 and is looking to get rid of it. I was thinking about throwing a truck 5.3 into it.

I had a few questions, I'm looking to do a cheap swap, doesn't have to be fancy, etc. just a nice dd. looking at the typical sites they sell conversion kits for 15-2000. Is there Anyway to do the mounts etc cheaper?

What aRe you guys using for steering racks and cooling systems, stock?

Will the stock 944 auto hold up to the power?

Any input would be great
Thanks

It is possible, and has been done. It's not inexpensive, but is really cool. Here's a company that has kits ready to go:
