The scenario above is ideally the ethical way to do the engine swap, especially if the chassis has outlasted the engine and the manufacturer no longer offers parts & support for the engine.
Porsche makes 4.8 V8 and has made it for quite sometime and is in the Cayenne and the Panamera.

The only reason to go outside of the Porsche line of motors it because they are much much more $$$$. When you can get a LSX motor for a couple of Thousand and want to do it on the cheap.
