I'm a Porsche enthusiast and I think you've done a great job, can't wait to see it on a track. Of it's faster than a corvette in a straight line, it should be faster than the old engine on a track.
*That Porsche is not an iPhone to keep it as it is, it is more like pure Android full of pure shit where you need to waste life modifying just to make it work.*
The engine blowing was inevitable on a high mileage 996, and as you know, a replacement engine, or a proper rebuild would have cost more. Instead you did something "interesting" which results in interesting videos that people want to watch, so you'll make the money back in time from your video ad revenue. And, it seems like you are enjoying driving it, so was it worth it? Hell yeah!
I’m new to the channel, been watching from oldest to newest! Very entertaining. Nice to see a car enthusiast have so much fun. Keep giving us viewers what we want, high mileage cars, that you bring back to life, with lots of flair and entertainment.
Jack Oliver Rob Ferretti did two videos, "Exotic Chop Shop" and "Ferrari Graveyard". Those were sad seeing all those cars that people wrecked or went up in flames, but at least they strip the usable parts and resell.
With all the weight over the rear wheels, makes this car a launch monster. I had a v8 pontiac fiero once, and it was insane how well it accelerated from a stop.
If you want cruise control you can run a drive by wire harness, all the cruise wires are with the TAC module and easy to hook up. If you want to keep it cable throttle just get the cruise module from a 99-02 silverado or a ls camaro. It's just a box with a cable that runs to the throttle body
Had a ‘99 996 for several years. Was thinking about race car conversion but just sold it. Had a friend put a Kompressor on his 996. It’s hilarious to see your dash cam as everything’s breaking loose ha friggin cool. This came together nicely! 🍻
I like this swap, its nice its done right and you can get parts for the engine anywhere in the us basically so it was smart not to go back to the Porsche engine
So funny to see all the purists mad over this. The irony is, they're the ones who hated the 996 for no reason. And now, all of a sudden, they're pissed.
Why did the wizard run into so many issues with the instructions? If the instructions are that bad or straight up wrong, absolutely hit up renegade hybrid to refine their kit.
The purist in me wants to totally hate this car, the hot rodder in me is digging it... Awesome "treasure yard" intro. So many great cars... Great video.
I love the cars you buy! The Porsche project was really entertaining to watch as well. There are many people who don't get why you did what did to the 911: but many of us that get it. If you want to break the internet, slam a LS engine in to POS mustang. I would pay money just to look at those comments...LOL
People upset that he's spending money on a high mile project... Have you ever bought a low mile vehicle? 90% of the time it just means old parts and old rubber esp seals which means just as much chasing problems. Once y'all get it through your head that driving cars means spending money you'll be a lot less upset.
Another great video! Love the channel! Any future plans on upgrading the audio (mics)? Would love to hear those solid in-car quips better! Thanks for all the awesome content!
YES...it will turn out better than a 911 turbo and C6.....Folks this death trap Hoovie just built is actually a MILD LS swap/tune. I personally would have shat thyself behind the wheel of just this mild LS 911 swap. Awesome job Hooovie...
they make around 2,000 dollars per million views. so if he gets around 200k per video after about 5 videos he makes like 2 grand or so. if he gets more views then he will even make more.
Maybe you should talk to Haltech about the electrical stuff, they are pretty good at making all the original stuff work with other engines (as seen on MCM)
I dare you to take it to the Porsche dealership for an “oil change” 😉
Nick Findley that's a good idea. That would make for a better video than the obligatory "I took my xxxxx to Carmax" video everyone is doing now.
billy mccabe Exactly!
That would be hilarious
You double dog date him?
Lol 😂
That car graveyard broke my heart. Especially that Opel GT.
Doug DeMuro's next video: Here's Why the 2017 Apollo 911 is Worth About Three Fiddy.
the video we need
Seriously, he should let doug review it
Tree fitty
doug reviewing this car would be amazing
HA!! That would be *awesome* to see!!
Please annoy more Porsche owners by transforming the front of it to a 997 Turbo.
FWD swap
Or annoy the 996 enthusiasts by adding vinyl stickers on the front headlights to make them look round.
nah... just twin turbo it
ANNOY ALL THE CAR GUYS

The purist mentality has no business here! I'm glad you spent all that money to entertain me!

Cody Slab
Found one!
Yeah. Agreed!
Look mom it’s doing it for dale had me dead asf
Cleetus McFarland reference?
DALE EARNHARDT MUTAHFUCCA MURRICA
C Biscuit Hell Yeah Brother!
i caught that too lmaooo
Love the doug impression 😂👌🏻
0:18 So sad to see a Opel GT on a junk yard :(
Noticed that too :(((((((
it's not that it's a good car or anything
[TECHNOLOGIC] it looks cool. Thats all what matters.
I feel bad for the E34 wagon too...
looks like it could use an LS Swap.
The intro made me soo sad, for seeing some "gems" in that scrapyard...
That 928....
Rafael_Santos that mercedes SEL ;(
0:19 What sportscar is this? Seems way too nice to be in a wrecking yard.
Seems to be a British sports car....
Those benzes:((
Opel GT
The doing it for dale part slayed me. Oh my that was too funny
what does "doing it for dale" means?
The engine blowing was inevitable on a high mileage 996, and as you know, a replacement engine, or a proper rebuild would have cost more. Instead you did something "interesting" which results in interesting videos that people want to watch, so you'll make the money back in time from your video ad revenue. And, it seems like you are enjoying driving it, so was it worth it? Hell yeah!
In retrospect it definitely wasn't.
He still blew it
“Doin’ it for Dale” 😂😂😂
My only concern would be the effect on rear handling from the higher weight balance. Will be interesting to see it at the track...
I’m new to the channel, been watching from oldest to newest! Very entertaining. Nice to see a car enthusiast have so much fun. Keep giving us viewers what we want, high mileage cars, that you bring back to life, with lots of flair and entertainment.
I have never cried at a youtube video... that is until this one and the intro segment of all those amazing cars left to rot in a scrapyard 😭
Jack Oliver Rob Ferretti did two videos, "Exotic Chop Shop" and "Ferrari Graveyard". Those were sad seeing all those cars that people wrecked or went up in flames, but at least they strip the usable parts and resell.
With all the weight over the rear wheels, makes this car a launch monster. I had a v8 pontiac fiero once, and it was insane how well it accelerated from a stop.
It actually has less weight on the back tires than the original engine.
"This porshe's doin it fer dale!"
Fucking died.
At first I was one of the purists revolting against it
Now I am totally sold, really nice 996
Let's not forget that RUF had similar idea before with the RGT-8.
If you want cruise control you can run a drive by wire harness, all the cruise wires are with the TAC module and easy to hook up. If you want to keep it cable throttle just get the cruise module from a 99-02 silverado or a ls camaro. It's just a box with a cable that runs to the throttle body
The quality of this channel gets better with every video. You should have way more subscribers.
3 videos in 5 days! Can't wait to see more about the Porsche. Well done!
Hoovie the rocketman
For the love of god...clean that back window!!! It's killing me! Lol!
Same here lol! I can't watch any of the in-car footage because it actually bothers me so much.
It would be cool if you faced lifted the front to the newer Porsche 911 front clip.
Noor Fattah no
Definitely not. This is now a cool retro. Facelifting would make it a weird poser
04dram04 exactly
I really love this car. It's a truly brilliant bit of kit.
Had a ‘99 996 for several years. Was thinking about race car conversion but just sold it. Had a friend put a Kompressor on his 996. It’s hilarious to see your dash cam as everything’s breaking loose ha friggin cool. This came together nicely! 🍻

That Porche Curve looks So Nice with wide angle lens
X Blocky it absolutely does
So funny to see all the purists mad over this. The irony is, they're the ones who hated the 996 for no reason. And now, all of a sudden, they're pissed.
Right?!
IKR. I guess if Hoovie dropped a Fiero engine in a 914 they'd be equally pissed.
The rocket man reference😂😂
"That Porsche is doing it for dale" 😂😂😂
'rocket man' north korea confirmed
$17k is a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. A few months ago I read on a forum about a ls swap in a Cayman that ended up being ~$40k!
Your car, your rules man! Right on!
0:17 - A Volvo E1800 an a Opel GT piled on top of each other. Thats an awesome scrap yard
Love the intro music. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
Dunno about that exhaust note under WOT. But the super quiet idle is pretty damn neat.
Do it for dale
That Porsche is the best car you’ve done on this channel. Good Job.
I LOVE that rev counter. Properly retro-cool. Keep it. I'd swap the exhaust to give it a nicer sound though. Great video as always.
You are as weird and funny as you look. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the laughs. Do it for Doug!
Why not Dale?
Hell yea brother! Cleetus would be proud! 🇺🇸🖒
You made a "modern" Tatra 700... Congratulations...
Carsten Langbo not true. Tatra was aircooled.
Pavel Sich I wrote modern as in "not like the old"
Why did the wizard run into so many issues with the instructions? If the instructions are that bad or straight up wrong, absolutely hit up renegade hybrid to refine their kit.
Ryukachoo the wizard is a man and immediately tossed the instructions as soon as he opened the kit.
your opening scene was great to see the Hoovie collection.
Hoovie you are hands down the best car youtuber. Never change please
this is the video we have been waiting for for 4 months
I thought we were at another Hoovie hooptie storage facility during the intro...
hh65flyer no we actually were ikr
The funniest parts about watching his videos is seeing where he is since we live in the same town
Yes, added reliability and power! Priceless.
Great Job on this video series, entertaining and informative. Fun to watch. Thank you
LS motors have oiling issues on track, make sure you tackle those mods before hurting this motor ;)
Put a Corvette emblem on the hood.
Also you need a sticker of a chevy making love to a Porsche.
Just the cid
Hey Boss, personally i think it was worth it and you don’t let the haters get to you. Keep up the great content!
this actually seems like a perfectly acceptable way to resurrect a clapped out 996
absolutely, I'd love one !
“I have really no regrets”
Future engine 🧨💥🔥
Love the channel mate been watching from the beginning all the way from Western Australia and it keeps getting better. Keep it up.. :)
Porvette
Corvorsche
Porsche z06
"chevy beetle"
I literally likes all these. Then bro killed all of em wit the Chevy beatle
I'm the 69th like of the main comment 😏
Great video. Guess your detailer must have missed the back window (geez)? Wizard's insight and brilliance shows. Impressive conversion.
This car is 100000 shades of freaking awesome. I love Porsche but this is the best 996 ever
In Czeckia the have put Tatra V8 in Škoda 120.
Some said that Škoda 135 Rapid (the coupe version of Škoda 120) was Eastern block 911.
"This Porsche doing it for dale" 🤣👍🏽
Great job! I love sacreligeous cars, this is up there with Finnegan's BlaspHemi
There is a lovely exhaust note of that car, far better than standard
This channel has exploded! I remember it being less than 50k at the beginning of this year
The first clip almost brought a tear to my eye after seeing once beautiful cars in a junkyard with removed parts 😢
The audio in this was sublime 👌
Luv Hoovie!
LOL, what a difference in the way you make videos now. Your videos are def better now and more entertaining.
You should totally get that Opel GT and restore it. Next Hoovie's Garage Project Car!!!
XD
Nice video production Hoovie! I like how you filmed inside the junk yard.
I LOVE it. What a wonderful Frankenstein car. Keep it, keep it, keep it.
You're awesome Hoovie, keep up the good vids ! 🙈😉
The purist in me wants to totally hate this car, the hot rodder in me is digging it... Awesome "treasure yard" intro. So many great cars... Great video.

By far the best automotive UA-camr,you inspire me to have my own hooptie fleet in the near future....#TylerIsTheBestUA-camr
that thing is dope. love the ducktail

Now you need to LS swap the NSX. Imagine a Honda with torque.
Great video, should get new headlamps soon, HIDs to anything with a better beam !
A mate of mine did he’s got a 1984 911 running a k20 two dealerships told him to get lost haha one loved it
Love this build. Plse probide more build details as you go along. Like wiring, cooling, etc.
That must be the most exciting vehicle in the whole state of Kansas!!!
New sub, so excited to see what happens to the Bentley!!!
Awesome build and awesome video ❤🌹😎
cant wait for the test results! love this swap!
You need to buy a load of old cars from that junkyard and do a restoration video on all of em
Another great video! Love the channel!
Any future plans on upgrading the audio (mics)? Would love to hear those solid in-car quips better!
Thanks for all the awesome content!
Your story is a great example of what.not to do but entertaining
YES...it will turn out better than a 911 turbo and C6.....Folks this death trap Hoovie just built is actually a MILD LS swap/tune. I personally would have shat thyself behind the wheel of just this mild LS 911 swap. Awesome job Hooovie...
Yup Wichita for sure what's up man shockers all the way hoovie
You need a loud exhaust so everyone knows it has the heart of a vette
Wow I can't even imagine, it must be nice to have 17 grand to blow.
he will make that money back with these videos he's posting! the advertisements pay well. It will pay for itself in no time.
He can write it off on his taxes thanks to these videos
I think Kramer said a similar thing once.
BLISSFUL FAPPER he isn't making all that much with the views he's getting. A few hundred a video if he's lucky I'm guessing.
they make around 2,000 dollars per million views. so if he gets around 200k per video after about 5 videos he makes like 2 grand or so. if he gets more views then he will even make more.
hoovies > doug, i say this everytime
You're like so many car youtubers put into one human
Just ls swapped my Dodge Ram. It's a beast! 700lbs lighter and double the horsepower. 23 mpg
MrPland1992 you ls swapped it or something else?
Thanks for all the videos Hoovie I bought a T-shirt to help with your bad decision making. Keep up the videos I really enjoyed them.
"This Porsches doing it for Dale" :D
Maybe you should talk to Haltech about the electrical stuff, they are pretty good at making all the original stuff work with other engines (as seen on MCM)
