- Our LS3 V8 swapped Porsche 911 Carrera 997 is finally DONE! Today I pick it up and go for the first full send test drive! This is now a 500HP Corvette swapped American blooded monster. We bought this Porsche dirt cheap with a blown motor for only $17,000. Now with the team over at Renegade Hybrids, the car lives on with a new lease on life. We had an LS1 swapped Porsche 944 Turbo, so it feels good to be back in a V8 Porsche build!

The LS3 is arguably the best most efficient (size wise) and flexible engine in history.
Absolutely.
It really is. An amazing piece of engineering. It blows my mind how light and small it is, especially for being one of the largest cubic inch V8s to be put in regular cars from that era.
Its so flexible, Jeremy Clarkson used it to power a blender and... a rocking chair. I'm not kidding, look it up.
@@slushyslushslushbruhlol i remeber that episode really took me back to a better time nice memories
What would put in 2nd/3rd place?
This guy knows his stuff and clearly has enthusiasm for what he does! What a cool project
No the car build was a failure and got sold at auction for cheap.
Good choice to let the Pros handle this conversion, they have been around for a while. A definite thumbs-up video.
Glad you liked it
These types of cars have been around for a long time. Jag with 350... TR6 with 302... Miata with 3800 turbo v6. My dad built an Austin Healey 3000 with a Corvette 327. It's fantastic that this man and his crew has taken on doing these beasts for those willing. The possibilities are endless! Wish nothing but the very best for this business! 🙏
I'd be curious to hear it with an X pipe style crossover instead. X pipes normally create a higher pitch, European style V8 noise that might suit the car more. Regardless it sounds good for what it is!
Here it is with the X pipe: ua-cam.com/video/ASGzBMvgA60/v-deo.html
@@RenegadeHybrids Sounds good! Definitely all just personal taste but I definitely dig the X pipe sound a little more
@@RenegadeHybrids how much top speed did you lose ?.......
And a wrecker 3.6-3.8 turbo motor would cost approx. What you spent on the mod... Same HP 502@ 8500rpm similar torque 386ft/lbs @3500rpm.....
But revs to 9000rpm
100mph faster from the SAME gearbox/diff combo !
@Guise Any comparison to a 997 turbo motor is simply ridiculous as cost of the P-car turbo engine and installation in an NA body would exceed $70k and weigh over 210lbs MORE than this junkyard V8.
@@Marc_Remillard the GT3 engines rev to 9k, not the turbos
The real magic is the adaptation of the Porsche trans with the LS …BRILLIANT
Why?
Because that’s why
The pdk with a ls would be a lot more impressive from a design standpoint. That would be a really interesting car. Especially with forced induction to the ls
Personally I'm not a big fan of Porsche cars - but hell- an LS V8 sure make a difference ....keep up those awesome conversions
Man, just listening to this guy speak you can feel the passion for what he does. I would take my car to him in a heartbeat
NEEDS A CARRERA LS BADGE FOR SURE
That’s a good idea!
Haha in Porsche font! Nice double take detail
The best LS conversion I’ve ever seen! Great job!
A symphony through the tailpipes. Love how it 'gets out of the hole' with no wheelspin, just rocket-like acceleration.
Beautiful conversion with Renegade and Jr Garage!!!
My question what's your price point? I definitely have an interest if it's for sale. Thanks guys
There's nothing like a modern V8 engine. Car sounds amazing. I didn't know that a V8 could fit in a porsche. Great job!
I'm so very very jealous, but fighting it down long enough to congratulate both builder and owner on an incredibly desirable swap. Wow!
I was about to write a scathing comment, and then I realized this is just a regular Carrara S. It's a perfect car to do that with, well done.
20 years ago i almost did this with my 914 that got wrecked. Instead I sold it for how much i bought it for. They had kits for small block Fords and Chevys in a 914 huge HP numbers. They have been masters of what they do for many many years!
I have known Scott for 30+ years. Not a better guy on the planet!!!! You Rock Scott!
i actually really like that sound. it sounds like minimal drone which is important
That thing sounds AMAZING. Love a V8 rumble in a sports car like that. Bet they get some great business off of this.
What's amazing that the LS can fit in literally every single Porsche from the last 50 years without even modding passenger and luggage spaces, in fact with room to spare (even the 914 and Boxters). Also, like a lot of people, I'd assumed the LS would always be heavier, and even that isn't the case, so the 924/944 and 928 retain that fantastic front-mid engine, rear transaxle balance.
Porsche 968 LS swap
Nice swap..I honestly thought this car wasn't a thing anymore..Glad to see y'all finished the swap..Hope to see more of it on the channel..🏁👍🏽
The exhaust sound awesome. I love the sound. keep up the videos. Renegade did a swap on the Porsche, thanks for sharing the video with all of us.
I love the way the detail on this car was done. Used oil pan to control oil starvation problems, but cats so car can pass state emission test.
That is a superb job. I can not believe it fits so perfectly.
This is the type of car you crash because you always wanna press the loud pedal and hear it scream. The work is top class and the ls motor sounds amazing I think the only thing that could top the sound is adding a charger but there is no way it would fit.
I think this is amazing! Like he said all the benefits of an LS with the Porsche style. Elephant in the room.... How much?
Ditto. How much??
The sound could be a touch louder. But the tone is correct
997.2 owner here. Love everything about your build.
I’ve been waiting for this to show up again and I LOVE everything about it!!!
Didn't see any Chirons or F40s in the shop. LS swap everything crowd would love it.
Destroked 4.8l LS engine (with a 8k red line), full dry sump, with 180 degree headers would be the ultimate 👌🏾
I used to run track days with a guy that had a 911 w/LS7. Bad ass.
I love the sound and the fact that the Porsche and LS computer talk to each other.
Unbelievable craftsmanship and engineering expertise here... Wow!!!
You should put lots of heat shielding between the oil pan and the mufflers to keep the oil cooler😊😊😊
This is spectacular ! Pure quality craftmanship.
What a great conversion, didn’t expact this.👌🏽👍🏽
But why is the question? I would understand if the rear seats were deleted and engine is mid mounted
This would be Awesome to own I’d daily drive it!!! And the LS blacked out looks so good in it!!! I wish the car was black or red!! Such a great build they did!!!
Fantastic! Really cool conversion, well done
He is as sharp as it comes. On top of everything. Very detailed and grandular.
The Corvette center outlet exhaust manifolds make a ton more power than those, right up there with good long tube headers.
very nice 911 with that reliable engine and thesound, u r lucky
That guys is a master of his craft love the car ! Now just waiting on the Beamer bike to be done 👀🫡
OMG 😮👍👍 a 911 V8 is the real thing 🥳
What a car!!! I'm not really even a 911 guy but that colour and that amazing V8 engine transfer. It sounds like the Balrog from The Lord of the Rings.
For all that trouble I couldn’t have helped heads cam rockers and pushrods. Possibly even a 12:1 441ci NA monster. Maybe Frankenstein or TSP 285 heads with a good tight LSA bump stick.
That supercharged 928 *chefs kiss* 🤌
Love the sound these guys did a awesome job!!! I want one! :)
My old school friend was one of the first to do a conversation like this. He has a dual turbo old 911 ls
That guy is very enthusiastic in what eh does.
For sure! Scott is very passionate!
the exhaust is pretty much a copy of what factory installed on my 84 firebird with the 305HO and a 5 speed..... i loved that car for over 15 years before it finally became too much to repair verses resale value
Remove the black hood stripes! Hmm detracting from the car’s beauty! Exhaust note is excellent!
KQRS 92 sticker on the 914. Wonder when it lived in the Twin Cities area or if a prior owner was just a fan of the station.
Most cars sould have dash working with a new engine, you may just have wrong readings due to diffrences in sensors.Swapping sensors would fix the problem.
That’s clean.Exhaust sounds great!
Sounds great and I think that would be a great car to drive everyday.
We're absolutely impressed!😍
What’s the ball park range it costs to do this swap ?
That 986S is a replica of my car, and the future of my car!
This very existence makes James Dean 550 Spyder doesn't seem so bad and it makes even MR2 snap oversteer looks normal
you should silence it under 4000 rpm, to be smooth, rumbling isnt so nice in low rpms, but later, when u open the gas, u need a bit less than u have it now....me opinion
Solid swaps so far
Petrolheads dream 👌👌👌👌👌
Hands down i seen alot customs but men this is really UNIQE i love it im putting 6.2 LS3 in my E30
Watching another channel on them doing this (twin turbo), it's crazy the amount out room you get to work with taking out that flat six.
I’m blown away!!! This was siick AF!
This is one of my dream builds man thank you for updating us with a vid!
love it! I sold my 930 a few years back, but now I want one of these.
Renegade is the Jake Raby of LS Swapped Porsches.
The sound is like Porsche's entry into NASCAR.
Im gonna need one, Hoovies was cool but this is a complete different monster..
That is awesome! That appears to be done 100% correctly, no cut corners. Love it!
10 years ago I helped put a 383 stroker in a Porsche 911 in Murrieta California it is teal
I love the LS (I have a car with one) and this car would be awesome to drive. And yet, I would choose this car with the stock engine.
Rod Simpson started doing that 1966! He was the first(Simpson Hybrids) . I'm glad the company continuing Rod's legacy., Will a Corvette flat plane crank V8 work with a dry sump? That is something that I would be interested in. I like the pitch of the floodplain V8,
So awesome. My coworker had a 1970 911 with turbo LS - it was crazy! It was very rudimentary - nothing as cool as this modern stuff.
One last thing- there’s a misconception that German engineers are the best…..but in reality they make stuff way too complicated (imho). I prefer American Engineering- it makes more sense.
The exhaust sounds great. The best solution is usually the simplest solution.
I would swap my Porsche but it’s a 1967 912- it would need everything upgraded.
Best car in the shop, 928S 😢😮😅
Awesome! Definitely Cool! Luv it , reminds me of when I converted my 2 seat dune buggy from 1835cc to Cadillac Northstar 4.6 v8 , the power was incredible and smooth 😂
I always wanted to Sti swap a 914. Then the Subaru diesel came out and I wanted to swap it into the 914 for a fun and economical driver
I wonder what pure Porsche enthusiast think?…. Hahahaha, this guy does beautiful work.
I wonder if Porsche is going to send them an all expenses paid trip to the next October fest to show their appreciation for what they did to their fine German engineering! 😅awesome project awesome sound!!
What's with that big black spot ahead of the rear wheels? Fake vent stickers?
How about a 911 with a 928 V8. LS is cool, but ls swaps are super common these days. Great build
Love it! 911 and 928 can be amazing cars
That is absolutely friggin awesome. Brilliant
Wow, I have a perfect 6spd trans, with 37k miles on it, out of a Spyder boxster's. Asking $3000.00 or obo.
The deep throaty sound is AMAZING!!
Ive wanted to LS swap my cayman for years. I should talk to Renegade!
Love it!
I own a 2006 Cayman S
This would be a fantastic answer
The exhaust sounds good
It is amazing how that engine swap worked so seamless. Very Cool .. However the sound does not match up to any boxer engine noise that I am familiar with..... so to me it just seems a bit odd. Other than that I dig the 2017 991 Turbo S Exclusive Series color scheme you have wrapped around your 997
Well Bros,
This is an interesting alternative alteration to a blown up Porsche engine. Thanks for sharing this. Send you from the Netherlands
6:58 @LegitStreetCars here’s your cold air intake.
I am now a fan of this combo. I drive a minivan. I will dream.
Stick a 2 1/2" Black Widow exhaust on it 😁...X pipe and free flow mufflers
Now that looks and sounds better.
What a beautiful job.
Maybe Porsche should try this themselves.
Love this conversion. Love the car! You will enjoy this car very much.
Not a big fan of Flow Masters. I've owned a flow master exhaust on my camaro and within 2 years, I had to replace it due to amount of rust that formed. Hopefully they go with magnaflow full 304 mufflers instead of these.
18:26 When you Swapped W204 V8 C63 engine in your 911
Did the Ls weight the same as the 6 I didn’t realise. As a purist, this is kind of cool
