Cayenne LS conversion?

With so many Cayennes having been produced, and with issues (such as bore scoring and coolant pipe leaks) affecting their values, I wonder if anyone has investigated or completed a swap for a LS engine? Seems like a great project for Renegade Hybrids if it could be accomplished, but I imagine integrating into the modern electronics would be a monumental task.

Just found some YouTube videos of a shop in Toronto doing such a swap. Looks feasible as they’re just about buttoning it up.

the main issue you will have is integrating the electronics with the rest of the body

Looks like that swap got to that stage, but nothing has been posted for quite a while so probably still has issues to work on.
