  • Video #1 in the series: • I Put a CORVETTE Engin...
    The Porsche 911 is the flagship in a storied line of German sport cars. Representing style, racing, and over engineering at its finest! The Chevrolet Corvette is equally as legendary showcasing raw, simple and reliable horsepower. Both the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette have enthusiast followings that will argue until the end of time which car is superior. But, what happens when you combine the two?
    We have done just that. Taking quite possibly the best V8 engine ever built, the Chevrolet Corvette LS3 and stuffed it into the back of this Porsche 997 911. A simple Chevrolet V8 swap wasn't enough for this Porsche 911 though. So, we had Josh from JCH Weld Fab built an entirely custom twin turbo kit for this one of a kind monster. This Chevrolet Corvette Ls3 swapped Porsche 911 put down remarkable numbers on Race Proven Motorsports dyno. But, can this Porsche 911 put all that power coming from the Corvette Ls3 to the ground?

    I normally do not endorse any LS swapped 911’s, but I must admit your build is pretty sick. It looks like lots of fun! Well done! 👏🏻

    Hey, I am glad to see this on UA-cam. What a great job on your LS Swap.
    I am Clemon Prevost, a.k.a. Toy-Jet. I was the first to do the LS/911 conversion process in late1999 when I was told it couldn’t be done. I was the first in the world to Swap an LS in a Porsche 911 and 914. I am so glad to see that this conversion is being done and is still going strong. I am still having fun with my 1980, 1000 plus hp Targa. We both can thank a gentleman by the name of Rod Simpson who is a Californian who did the first V8 swap into a Porsche 911 back in 1968
    Keep up the good work!!

    Hi, full disclosure. I just ran into this video project with the recommended you tube suggestions. I enjoyed the whole video. You guys did a good job. It was a good production and I like the personalities. It's amazing what you can do these days. I am an old retired mechanic, it's great to see creative craftsmen and artists and thinkers and inventors create new ideas and you did it very cleanly and professionally and you weren't overly cocky about it. That was the best part. I subscribed

    -Fun, new and interesting camera angles, 3 photos, 3 different scenes being seen of what is happening in one place. I have never seen that before.. and just the sounds of the shop things being hooked up pulled, and banged on,etc; no additional music to hold our attention-great.
    -BIG ASS tires on the back of this P-car.
    -Side rear mount inter-coolers, so beautiful and so functional =jewels.
    -I so love how exacting Josh is and to see his work being done right before OUR eyes is wonderful.
    -I like at 4:00 on the video Josh has a plug in one pipe close to his arm to stop the heat from toasting his arm.
    -One bad thing...no goggle. All of this very finely cut metal "dust" could get in his eyes and then he rubs his eyes and that is like sanding your eyes with 400 grit sand paper. I am not a big safety guy, but on obvious dangers for my eyes or my richard/balls I am safety FIRST.
    - Did everyone see the expando nematic pipe spreader. Wow. I got my moneys worth already and we are only in 7 minutes in.
    -Josh kind of looks and moves like Ringo Star (The Beatles for all you young ones out there).
    -Yes more.
    - I never watch anything Corvette on this chanel; just not interested.
    -I love Porsches but I am not a purest. Slice and dice the body all you want. Rennch videos has a Subaru flat 6 engine in an older Porsche body, so what. Would I ever want to put a Vet engine in a Porsche I might own. Too late in my life to care.
    -Love how you keep your Chanel getting better. Al this is the first time I have see the brother working the whole show. Good speaker and engaging.

    Defenitly will build a turbo one at one point
