If you dont mind me asking, what's the ballpark figure for the S52 swap, parts and labor?

My M20 has 250k+ miles on it and a S52 swap is probably a better investment than rebuilding the M20.
Was able to get the Motor + Accessories for around $2000 from a wrecked Estoril Blue E36. Transmission I can't recall how much I paid for it, but it is a Getrag 260 from the M20. Swap fee at GPS was about $2500. There are also a lot of additional bits we needed, such as AKG engine mounts, an E34 oil pan just to name a few for the swap to be successful. I'd say probably north of $6000 for all the engine goodies including swap fee when all said and done.. and that's without looking at my spreadsheet.
