There is an owner currently swapping in a 2.2L ecotec. Will be the first 4cyl swap, very exciting.
The coyote is a very big engine. Like you said it would be hard to make it fit width wise. However still a better idea than the 928 heart. But be different, make it happen. haha
I wouldnt go as far as saying any sort of swap is "easy". It takes a lot of work. Due to the drivetrain configuration its a little more involved than pulling one engine out and bolting another in like so many domestic vehicles.

What I've learned from the maker movement is that you just put the parts into place and hot melt glue will do the rest.

Porsche M28 4.7L 928 engine in my car. With the cam boxes it would be very tight plus the crank pulley would need to be shortened down to one serpentine belt to save space. Did this about 7 years ago.
As a Professional fabricator that has done engine swaps and have built/worked on 928 race cars, I will state YES this is a doable swap. It wont be easy or cheap obviously and it will need few updates to make it all livable. I have a price in mind if you's like me to do it........
