Any progress on V8 engine swap options?

I am running the Cayman engine cover instead of the stock 986 cover on my '02 Boxster. Saves me about 4lbs since it is all aluminum. It is also a little taller to accomodate the 987 airbox. Not sure where you need the room, but it might help a liitle if you are looking for just liittle bit more room on top.

The Cayman engine cover should work with the 4.2L V8 if you mount the engine as low as possible and use a shorter throttle body arrangement. I plan to use material from the aluminum trunk from my A8 and the help of an airframe mechanic friend to fabricate a cover.
