Someone's V8 Swapped A Porsche Cayman And It's Brilliantly Sacrilegious
In a move that's likely to make your average Porsche purist explode with indignation, this Cayman has been given a Ford Coyote V8 in place of its stock flat-six
We haven’t been able to find out a huge amount about this build, other than the dyno results obtained by ‘Power By The Hour Performance’, based in Boynton Beach, Florida. It managed an impressive 428hp at the wheels - which will be over 500hp at the crank. In a dinky Cayman, that’s an absurd figure.
It’s worth noting this isn’t the only V8-swapped Cayman out there: do a little digging and you’ll find Caymans with Audi V8s, Caymans with LS engines and even a Cayman with Porsche’s own ‘M28.41’ eight-pot. But a Coyote V8? That’s a new one on us.
Right now though, we just want to see it in action…

The perfect Cayman.
I would love to see a cayman with a 997 gt3 engine !!!
Now that would be THE swap.
At least its not a LS
That gave me the chills
a cayman with a crossplane v8 isnt bad because its mid engined, unlike the 911 which is rear engined and crossplane v8s in rear engined cars make then no more smooth
Cost of the engine swap will probably bee offset by saved maintenence costs as ling as the owner keeps it long enough.
No one will ever suspect a porsche to run over a crowd (sleeper)
I hope RUF has been taking notes.
Their 4.5L flatplane V8 would be pretty neat in this.
DID SOMEONE SAY V8 SWAPPED PORCHE
HOW BOUT AN LS PORSCHE

What would be cooler than a V8 swap would be a Flat 8 TT swap. Connecting 2 new 718 engines together!
