i wouldn't say "easy" but there has been a number of 3.8 transplants over the past few years for both road and race versions of the 987. you may want to contact one of our board sponsors who have done the transplant to see if this is something you want your Lexus dealership to embark upon.

I know Mind Over Motorsport down here in San Diego did it on their shop Cayman S, but unfortunately they're no longer in business. From what I've heard, while the engine will drop in place, there's quite a bit of electronics to work out.

I think Farnbacherloles has done it before when building the Cayman GTR, and Sharkwerks/EVO/RSS are known to get their hands wet on the Cayman may be able to share some of their thoughts.
