Cayman S with 911 engine swap
Hey Everyone,
I've recently been looking at purchasing my first Porsche.
Originally I wanted to find a 996 TT 6spd Coupe, but its been difficult to find lately in my price range. ($

Not sure why the first post cut off half of my message,
Originally I wanted to find a 996 TT 6spd Coupe, but its been difficult to find lately in my price range of 40K
I've also really liked the Cayman S for its weight distribution and performance. Recently I was checking out a few cars and stumbled upon a 08 Cayman S with a 08 911 S, Engine swap. (36k motor) 46k on chassis.
Does anyone have experience with these swaps and know of any potential issues to look for?
The price is right and I would be essentially buying the car at market value.

It's fairly common and there are few issues inherent in the comparability of the swap. A lot of it comes down to how meticulous he builder is, and their attention to detail as they make the swap, and disturb a lot of 8+ year-old parts. Also, did they do anything with the IMS while the engine was out? How many new pieces-parts went back in? Here's a build that was done really well, and I believe the car is available still
