Someone is supposed to be working on such a project but I'm not sure those engines are available separately from Porsche yet. My 'guess' would be between $15-20K just for the motor, tranny would add more to it.
I have a friend who has a new GT3 on order and says he's been told he'll be lucky to see it in October because PAG us using all the 3.6 v-bottomed crankcases for the new turbo since the order response for those cars is through-the-roof.
Others may know better, but would it be a lot harder to put a GT3 engine into the Cayman because it is the old-style v-bottomed case?

i spoke to ruf (texas), as to why they use 3.8L as opposed to 3.6 GT3 motor. the response was that 3.8L is more plug and play (still need to change ecu, clutch (if x51), 3rd radiator and all). the GT3 motor (and the associated tranny) can be done, but more difficult. but if you open your wallent wide, i am certain it can be done.
sorry, i didn't ask for price of GT3 motor/tranny installed. i didn't want to scare myself ;-)

PASM - Porsche Active Suspension Management
This active damping system offers continuous adjustment of individual damping forces based on current road conditions and driving style.
The driver can choose from two setup modes, ‘Normal’ and ‘Sport’, using a separate ‘damper’ button on the center console. ‘Normal’ mode is designed for general road driving and circuits with uneven tarmac. ‘Sport’ mode is intended for smoother track surfaces, where the harder settings help eliminate pitch and roll.
In either mode, PASM continuously evaluates the current conditions while automatically selecting the corresponding damper rates from the respective set of mapped values.
A range of sensors are used to monitor the movement of the body under acceleration, braking and cornering maneuvers, as well as on poor road surfaces. The PASM control unit then evaluates this data and modifies the damping force on each individual wheel in accordance with the selected mode. The result is a significant reduction in body movement as well as a better grip on the road.
For example: if ‘Sport’ mode is selected, the suspension is automatically set to a harder damper rating. If the quality of the track surface falls below a certain threshold, the system immediately changes to a softer rating within the ‘Sport’ setup range. When the quality of the tarmac improves once more, PASM automatically returns to the original, harder rating.
