I would argue the smallblock Chevy is one of the greatest engines ever made in history and I am not a Chevy fan at all, I just give credit when I think it's due.
it was a 1984 928s model ,its a 383 blow through carb motor. a 7 litre LS fuel injected motor would be a much smoother set up . if i was doing it again i would go down that road.
thats a inteligent reply .the original motor was tunned to 450 bhp ,when it died i just went with the chevy convertion with a starting point of 450 bhp,it was a 25 plus year old 928 at the end of the day not a price less 911 rs i was converting .a car of that age with a stock motor only had a value of about 3/4 k . dont understand why people are so defensive of a engine swap.
The comments about "POS" LS motors/Chevy are pretty funny. Ever heard of a reliable, modern (well in the last 25 or 30 years) Porsche that could go 125+K miles w/o having a catastrophic meltdown of some sort? Not hardly. For the cost of a standard 5L Porsche reman, you can get an aluminum LS motor, build it with a cam matched to the car and your intention/driving style, FAST intake, and a good exhaust (not this 5" diesel truck exhaust, which is the main reason you hear the popping noise) and have change. Not to mention much more power
A Porsche is a Porsche and when you cant afford a Porsche you shouldnt buy it. The Porsche transaxle models are more reliable then most sports cars and a chevy engine is no sport engine.
Yeah, those SC'd LS motors are very pedestrian. I'm saying for all the money and attitude about perceived engineering and quality excellence, durability/reliability should be included in the equation. Germany seems to have forgotten that many years ago.
olikat8 The Porsche 928 is very reliable very often you see 928s with way more then 300.000km. You shouldnt forget that the Porsche 928 was a supercar and supercars need there maintenance, which often cost a lot. But when a Porsche 928 gets his maintenance he wont make you any problems.
@Onman 100, what qualifies as a sport engine? I mean early race cars used airplane engines, and more recently truck engines were a sorce for more power.
kahn a company in the uk make the wheels they have a web site i belive google kahn wheels im sure you will find them. i did the motor swap but al of the convertion parts came from rennagade hybrids in the states they also have a web site hope this helps.
Soo... is the original V8 that hard to find? I think it would work way better with 4 injectors per cylinder than what it does with two, kinda sounds like that. I may be wrong though... lol
i tunned the original motor to 400bhp. i went for chevy because it was cheap power ,my first motor was 500bhp. i stuck with carberetors but i wish i had gon fuel injection because it was hard to start idle was not good and it stalled alot. if i had my time around again i would fit a corvrt LS 7 motor with the fuel injection 500bhp and 500ft lbs of torque. hind sight is a wonder full thing.
the car was built on a 928s 1983 model. these old cars are worth 3000 pounds at best. i sold it for 7000 pounds. ok not what it cost me to build, but de value ,you do the maths .
The engine was NOT made by MB for Porsche rather, some wanted an Audi derived V10 based loosely on the Audi Five cylinder but Porsche execs wanted a purely Porsche engine. The automatic transmission however WAS designed by MB. Do your research first before spouted out myths & rumours.
i no the 32 valve 5 litre motor can be supercharged to 500 plus bhp on stock internals ,my motor was only a 2 valve 4.7 with mechanical fuel injection so 450 was a achivment 928 motorsports has great experiance with this early set up i spoke to carl there many times with the development of my early porsche set up. chevy was juust cheap power with hind site a 7 litre ls motor would have been a good starting point.
Hey I like it and ciber show sum support man I'm bout to buy 1 my self I'm leave it as is but later down the line I would like to invest in a swap like that as well.... has anyone notice that Chevy is a well know swapped engine even in high dollar cars like Porsche BMW Benz ect....... i rather pay for mantinence for a Chevy setup then any other engine transplant period.....so if and only if he ever sales the car he can put the original set up back in there like it never happend
Very nice, having owned a 928 I know what a shit box the original engine is, yeah it ran fine but it was low on power and was awkward to work on and parts were too expensive . This is a nice swap had I kept mine I was planning an Ls3 swap, kudos to you.
like i said not every bodys cup of tea ,if i was doing it again i would use a modern ls chevy engine on fuel injection. the car is a 1983 ,i got 450 bhp from the original porsche engine supercharging. that was the max for the 4.7 bosche kjet injection. so i went for the chevy because it was cheap power,with a stand alone fuel injection system that would have been a much more fuel efficent smoother runing car but the chance came to sell it before i spent more on it. it was 600 plus hp .
That "masterpiece of engineering" is actually a Mercedes designed engine, made for Porsche. The reason it didn't live on in another vehicle was because it was, well... not that great, honestly. To replace parts on the porsche V8 cost an arm and a leg. LS? Not expensive at all. The aluminum ls engine weighs less than the P V8, as well. Now, on a 911? Oh heck no, I couldn't replace that boxer 6. No way. But in this case, I think it's a great, logical fit :) To each his own, I guess :)
When the 928 was made, Porsche either couldn't or wouldn't make a truly powerful engine to match....high technology not withstanding, they wouldn't make a large displacement engine, stuck at a little over Five liters....they just couldn't break thru to major league power. The LS series from GM is a perfect match, upgrading power onto the "major leagues". The original Porsche engines are little more than curious antiques now.....not worth the effort and expense.
It's amazing how so many people commenting here think a Porsche engine is such a great piece of engineering when a cheap little gm engine makes more power for a ton less money and gets better fuel economy doing it. Complex and expensive do not equal better unless the power and economy are there. The KISS method wins every time.
the headlights are strosek ,i would have prefered the original with hind sight for better lighting. deleting the pop up lights made room for the low mounted supercharger as well.
@omfgwtfbbq90 i did the convertion 7 years ago the pound dollar was strong so i took advantage of it . i put a 450bhp small block in there, the engine in the vidio is 660bhp. at the time it would have been very expensive to get this power from a porsche engine. the black smoke is the carberetor jetted rich ,if i had not of sold the car i would have invested in a stand alone fuel injection system that would have made it a much user friendly animal.
it was 10k in 2005 to do the motor convertion.i had a tunned porsche motor in it, and it was maxed out. it was a prodject not for the porsche purists as ive said before . ive seen nasscar motors in bmws ect, the snobery with porsche owners is laughable.
ok your right offensive is the correct word ,you are a porsche purist and dont like to see engine swaps, i only made that clip to show some guys who were interested in buying the car . they came from sweeden and bought it.
well i bought the convertion kit from a company called renegade hybrids in the states they have many porsche 944 928 and 911 convertions done,ask them and there customers which they have built a buisness on. i did not take pride in any of it just wanted a big power v8 in that shape car. i must admit its running rich and like a pig in that clip but i wanted to get across to the guys who were buying it, it was not a good idea to drive it to sweeden.
@SutAdrian 660 dyno proven 383 small block running 15psi of boost. yes it was running over rich due to wanting to up the boost to 20psi. stand alone fuel injection was the next move to make it run smoother. i had the original 4.7 with a supercharger running 450bhp maxed out. the first none boosted small block chevy engine made 450 bhp. chevy was cheap power . do your home work on these set ups and you will see they make big power before you make empty statement that show your lack of knowlage.
383 supercharged small block 660 bhp dyno proven. s4 brakes bilstien coil over suspention 5 speed gt gearbox 19 inch wheels stroseck body mods thats keeping it breef mate ha.
fail fail fail what a shame to put a shevy shit in great porsche !!!!!!! the porsche engine was too good for you ? so you downgrade that car in a americain heavy cheap car !?!?!?!?
try to get a original one, first painted, with gabless history....which you should have cause parts are very expensive you´ll pay more than 15000€ left steered cars are more expensive than your rightsteered one
this car was a none original 130000 miles on the clock car so i did not de value this example. if it had have been a low mileage totaly orginal example then yes it would be worth good money to a entusiast ,it was not. the free adds and ebay are full of old 928s for not alot of money most are worn out cars ready for the salvage yard.

I like the way the Carb floods out the engline and almost makes it stall in the doughnut..
With all of that black smoke, when they said “Chevy engine swap” I thought they meant Duramax. Seriously needs a wide band sensor and some tuning.
Got some YEEHAW in your Schnitzel
I would argue the smallblock Chevy is one of the greatest engines ever made in history and I am not a Chevy fan at all, I just give credit when I think it's due.
Very nice paint job and wheels
it was a 1984 928s model ,its a 383 blow through carb motor.
a 7 litre LS fuel injected motor would be a much smoother
set up .
if i was doing it again i would go down that road.
Amazing looking car.
How did you do the head lights like that?
Is that a kit or a custom job?
Awesome car!!
Love it dude!
Awesome car
hello, nice car! do you mind me asking if you used a LS1 to 928 5 spd torque tube conversion kit? thanks and god bless.
...and you can't argue with that!
wow!!!wow!!! wow!!!! just awesome.. what year 928 is this and from what Chevy car was that engine from??
Sounds much better now.
Thats like kidnapping a German and making him drink Budweisser and listen to country music...horrible
This is brilliant.
I love the 928 but jeez the repair costs are obscene of these cars.
The LS engine should be in every European car.
Only an American would think that 😂
In Europe nobody will buy a car with Chevy engine.Europeans invent car,than supercar than hypercar😀😀😀
that was the most tame donut ive ever seen
Very nice. Did u use the renegade kit?
thats a inteligent reply .the original motor was tunned to 450 bhp ,when it died i just went with the chevy convertion with a starting point of 450 bhp,it was a 25 plus year old 928 at the end of the day not a price less 911 rs i was converting .a car of that age with a stock motor only had a value of about 3/4 k . dont understand why people are so defensive of a engine swap.

@Onman 100, what qualifies as a sport engine? I mean early race cars used airplane engines, and more recently truck engines were a sorce for more power.
nomad1187 What qualifies airplane engines as sportengines ?
damn love that sound hehe
Looks great to me. Nice job
i used motorcycle headlights but you can get some small bosche units now that will fit ,i was going to upgrade to them .
What kind of rims? Those rims are nice.
kahn a company in the uk make the wheels they have a web site i belive google kahn wheels im sure you will find them.
i did the motor swap but al of the convertion parts came from rennagade hybrids in the states they also have a web site hope this helps.
Love it
That is sexy. Sounds like it's boosted too
I'm thinking about doing the engine swap also. Is it worth it? I can get a 928 for $4,000 with a blown engine.
Cool man I got the same one. Which type headlights did you use to replace?
Dam...thats the way to do it.
I don't know what's worse, the engine swap, or the headlights...
Headlights !!
The wheels...
Where did you get those front fenders? They look like Strosek, but are the stock width. I need a set.
Soo... is the original V8 that hard to find?
I think it would work way better with 4 injectors per cylinder than what it does with two, kinda sounds like that.
I may be wrong though... lol
Nice car an it looks like that conversion was very successful, congrats man..! It a shame you didn't enjoy it that much. :(
@SutAdrian there are a lot of germany companies shipping internationnly kits for it up to 677hp, fyi
Nice black smoke... Also what's the point of swapping a Chevy V8 in a 928 since it already got a V8 in it???
Sounds like its broken at the end...lol :D chevy powa!
Dunno wot to think about this...
A Chev in a 928s?
😱
i tunned the original motor to 400bhp.
i went for chevy because it was cheap power ,my first motor was 500bhp.
i stuck with carberetors but i wish i had gon fuel injection because it was hard to start idle was not good
and it stalled alot.
if i had my time around again i would fit a corvrt LS 7 motor with the fuel injection 500bhp and 500ft lbs
of torque.
hind sight is a wonder full thing.
Clean!
Dont worry about it, ya know its a nice car
fuck the haters.
the car was built on a 928s 1983 model.
these old cars are worth 3000 pounds at best.
i sold it for 7000 pounds.
ok not what it cost me to build, but de value ,you do the maths .
what was wrong with the porsche v8?
awesome love it! chevy power FTW
The engine was NOT made by MB for Porsche rather, some wanted an Audi derived V10 based loosely on the Audi Five cylinder but Porsche execs wanted a purely Porsche engine. The automatic transmission however WAS designed by MB. Do your research first before spouted out myths & rumours.
i no the 32 valve 5 litre motor can be supercharged to 500 plus bhp on stock internals ,my motor was only a 2 valve 4.7 with mechanical fuel injection so 450 was a achivment 928 motorsports has great experiance with this early set up i spoke to carl there many times with the development of my early porsche set up.
chevy was juust cheap power with hind site a 7 litre ls motor would have been a good starting point.

you've never heard a cammed small block chevy scream i take it?
Very nice, having owned a 928 I know what a shit box the original engine is, yeah it ran fine but it was low on power and was awkward to work on and parts were too expensive . This is a nice swap had I kept mine I was planning an Ls3 swap, kudos to you.
Low on power? You do not even have the roads to run the weakling to a maximum speed.
Alas...
.
there strosek head lights and front bumper ,cup mirrors and s4 tail spoiler.
A right hand Porsche with a GM engine is what they drive in hell while drinking decaf coffee.
like i said not every bodys cup of tea ,if i was doing it again i would use a modern ls chevy engine on fuel injection.
the car is a 1983 ,i got 450 bhp from the original porsche engine supercharging.
that was the max for the 4.7 bosche kjet injection.
so i went for the chevy because it was cheap power,with a stand alone fuel injection system that would have been a much more fuel efficent smoother runing car but the chance came to sell it before i spent more on it.
it was 600 plus hp .
stop it please
it was over jetted ,hence the black smoke .it was driven back to sweeden by its new owners 300 plus miles ,thats alot of fuel lol.
The porsche 4.5 liter 297 hp monster that goes 170+ mph stock screw chevy

glad he did it to the s2 if he did that to a s4 i would sue.. and the driver says : i like circles!
S4 looks like a bloated jelly bean. Original body is a better design and it’s not even close
the headlights are strosek ,i would have prefered the original with hind sight for better lighting.
deleting the pop up lights made room for the low mounted supercharger as well.
@omfgwtfbbq90 i did the convertion 7 years ago the pound dollar was strong so i took advantage of it .

Sounds like shit. Back to the garage.
i was gunnu say you ruined it because of the front lights but when i noticed it was a s 928, its was already ruined
impressed with the technical know how and ingenuity but not a fan of putting American engines into European cars. Seems like a copout.
old yes
smokey yes
shed ,nice car just needed a more turnkey smother set up ,if i was doing it again.
This is so sad, the mythical V8 beast transformed into Frankensteins Warthog, why have you butchered this legendary grand tourer?
This thing sounds mean....I want one.
it was 10k in 2005 to do the motor convertion.i had a tunned porsche motor in it, and it was maxed out.
it was a prodject not for the porsche purists as ive said before .
ive seen nasscar motors in bmws ect,

What’s laughable is clowns like you that do this
What trans are u using
ok your right offensive is the correct word ,you are a porsche purist and dont like to see engine swaps, i only made that clip to show some guys who were interested in buying the car .
they came from sweeden and bought it.
wtf? how can you put a shitty Chevy engine in a Porsche?????
omg you totally destroyed an amazing car...... smh
well i bought the convertion kit from a company called renegade hybrids in the states they have many porsche 944 928 and 911 convertions done,ask them and there customers which they have built a buisness on.
i did not take pride in any of it just wanted a big power v8 in that shape car.
i must admit its running rich and like a pig in that clip but i wanted to get across to the guys who were buying it, it was not a good idea to drive it to sweeden.
i am a 928 fan. its just i hate the s1 to s, i think the s4 and gts are the nicest
@SutAdrian 660 dyno proven 383 small block running 15psi of boost.
yes it was running over rich due to wanting to up the boost to 20psi.
stand alone fuel injection was the next move to make it run smoother.
i had the original 4.7 with a supercharger running 450bhp maxed out.
the first none boosted small block chevy engine made 450 bhp.
chevy was cheap power .
do your home work on these set ups and you will see they make big power before you make empty statement that show your lack of knowlage.
Did you do the body conversion? I had one identical to that. I converted it to manual when I had it
The car porsche shoulda built
dave runner
It's coming, rumors are out. In less than 5 years you will see it !
4x4 928? Geez man, lower that car!
And why would anyone take pride in something like this?
If you are looking for cheap power you shouldn't have gotten a porsche in the first place
the kit was renegade .
@MyBMW840ci they are kahn 19 inch rims ,i painted the centres.
Just silly... Why?
Sounds like its not running good. Black smoke & sputtering.
Michael Luciana needs a tune

Would be better if it ran right.

sadly the engine was removed and sold and the car is in storage now .perfect for a fuel injected LS motor prodject.
world is full of them im afraid mate.
Too rich fuel mix.poss dirt in fuel filter
@clearedchannel money dont give a car Knowledge ......... if so gm ,ford an chrysler dont sale car
fail fail fail
what a shame to put a shevy shit in great porsche !!!!!!! the porsche engine was too good for you ? so you downgrade that car in a americain heavy cheap car !?!?!?!?
Lets see under the hood!
not a 928 fan then .
fart canons belong on ricers
Holy boner. It's amazing.
try to get a original one, first painted, with gabless history....which you should have cause parts are very expensive
you´ll pay more than 15000€
left steered cars are more expensive than your rightsteered one
Only made it slower
NO NOT 660BHP!!! NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! MORE LIKE 350HP OR SO,,,
AND IT RUNS LIKE SHIT!!!....
-_-
congratulations...your cars value felt to zero
@PentruRasaAlba cheap power simple as that
this car was a none original 130000 miles on the clock car so i did not de value this example.
if it had have been a low mileage totaly orginal example then yes it would be worth good money to a entusiast ,it was not.
