Once you ditch any OEM ECU it's just an ordinary V8 unless you have a complex cam timing system like most Audi's have these days. Even that can be easily controlled with MOTEC, Autronic, AEM etc.......

It would be a cool swap.
You can spend the same money you would spend on just that engine and get a twin turbo system for your 928 that will produce more power than that. And you wouldn't have to have any special wiring harness's made, no one off fabricating, etc.
Those panamera turbo engines can be hot rodded up to at least 740 HP by the way.
AHLEN, Germany — Edo Competition, one of Germany's better known tuners, is usually brand-agnostic when it comes to tweaking supercars. But it does know a thing or two about Porsches — especially fast Porsches. It's also happy to fashion a one-off special to customer order, which is how the Porsche Panamera "Moby Dick" came about.
Edo started with a Panamera Turbo and, at the buyer's request, fitted a Mansory body kit to the big four-door. Then Edo dove under the hood and began to do what it knows best — squeezing more juice, in this case from the twin-turbo Porsche V8.
The result is an increase in output from 494 to 739 horsepower, which in turn slashed 0-60 acceleration to less than 4.0 seconds and boosted top speed — still electronically governed — to 211 miles per hour.
Edo added an electronic lowering kit and 22-inch wheels, as well as a carbon-fiber rear valance shrouding four massive stainless-steel exhaust tips.
