Just when you think you’ve seen it all, another absurd engine swap appears out of the ether. It makes you wonder if the primary purpose of an engine swap is to boost performance, or just to build the most ridiculous car possible.
Today, courtesy of Power By The Hour Performance on YouTube, we have a video of a first-generation Porsche Cayman powered by the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 from a Ford Mustang. It’s unclear what sort of gearbox this frankenstein uses, or how the builder managed to fit a V8, but what is clear is that it’s ridiculous.
“Fit,” of course, is a relative term here. The V8 sticks out of the Cayman’s engine compartment, as it’s a much taller engine than a Porsche’s flat-six. The air filter resides in the trunk.
Regardless, this weirdo setup gets results: It was dynoed as producing 428 horsepower and 364 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. What we have here, is more than likely a 911 Turbo killer.
