There are some swaps out there but far less common than swaps into e30s. It is a big engine bay so you can put a big V8 in there if you have the fabrication skills. There was a build thread I was looking at the other day with a M62 engine dropped in along with a 6 speed transmission from a e39 540 sport. Very impressive sleeper.

So if you wanted to do a swap odds are you can find someone who has done it, but they are far from plug and play. I would love to have an S52 in mine down the road, but for now that is more of a pipe dream as the 911 gets all the go fast money.
