My gripe with a non boxer swap is the change in balance and dynamics of the car. The very compact boxer engine will be mounted very low and behind the front axle- lowering the CofG of the car and thus improving handling. A swap to an inline or V engine will raise the CofG and mount the motor farther forward...
