Administrators BRAAP Posted February 19, 2010 Administrators Share Posted February 19, 2010 Odd, but cool at the same time. I'm guessing he got the car sans power-train for a song and dance. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-hybrids/1240791-2001-porsche-996-ls1-conversion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Didn't we have a member that put a 350 into an older Porsche? It was a 930 or 964 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olie05 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Didn't we have a member that put a 350 into an older Porsche? It was a 930 or 964 I think. He sent me the pics and I posted them up. I'm surprised the pics still show up. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=109009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 First V8 into a pumper I've seen. It might work out very well, I expect there's enough cooling capacity there to handle a pretty stout LS. It will be interesting. There are a couple of V8 911's running around here, one is spectacularly done, the other is somewhat hacked. Cool swap if done nicely. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rolling Parts Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yea, it's odd but it's interesting at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I wonder what Mikelly thinks of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Putting V8s into 911s have been around as long as putting them in Datsuns. 996 cars are very very cheap, as they were the first mass produced water cooled 911s and very unloved from the design (fried egg headlights), water cooled engine that the Porsche loyalists did NOT like AND these first generation water cooled H-6 engines suffer intermediate shaft failure (IMS) causing the entire engine to fail...Porsche sold lots of these cars so combined with the sheer numbers used and a possible blown motor due to an IMS failure = cheap cheap! The purists cringe..wince like an worm in direct sunlight...lol when they see a domestic V8 in one.. Some pics: Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
