I'm curious about the 997 engine (3.6 or 3.8L)... That is what I think has got to be the expensive part. I think it's Farnbacher-Loles that charges $40K for the engine swap (Cayman for 997S). 9ff also charges an arm and a leg.

21.2k for 3.8S motor swap at Orton into Cayman. Includes labor.

R380 380hp
997 3.8Ltr Engine
Reprogrammed Bosch Motronic ECU
Upgraded Clutch
Sport Headers with 100 Cell Catalysts
Air Intake
BMC Air Filter
Price $21,200 inc Instalation

The Orton R 380 3.8 S conversion transforms your Cayman S into a real "Street-Fighter". We install an original, brand-new Carrera 997 S 3.8 engine into your car in exchange of the original. We use a custom-made Header & Exhaust System bringing the Power up to 380hp.Every effort was made to keep as many OEM components as possible during installation. The conversion is very dealer friendly and can be serviced by your Local Porsche dealer .Guaranteed not to have any engine check lights as our maiden conversion was undetectable by a Porsche PST 3 scan tool.

Do they require a core exchange for the stock 3.4L? If not, that's not a bad deal... Especially if you sell the 3.4L to a standard Cayman owner to offset the cost.

Orton also has built a supercharger kit for the 3.4 cayman S motor.

If all goes well, and I find a beater to get me through DC winter, I'll soon be a customer there soon
