I am understandably annoyed and thought about replacing the 2.7 with a 3.2.

I know of one guy who installed a 3.2 to replace his 2.7 after it's IMS failed too, and he didn't have to change his tranny.

How easy can this be and would the gearbox have to be replaced too ?

I also know another guy who upgraded to a 3.4 on his early 986, and it too, was using the 5-speed tranny, so I think you'll be fine.
