- 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'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
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
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.
The real magic is the adaptation of the Porsche trans with the LS …BRILLIANT
Why?
Because that’s why
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: th-cam.com/video/ASGzBMvgA60/w-d-xo.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
If I owned a Porsche this would be the one. The LS is such a good engine and Porsche is beautiful and well engineered. A match made in heaven that is more than the sum of its parts.
To be fair, if Porsche's were well engineered, it wouldn't have needed an engine swap. Yes I have one. They are pretty and handle great, but there are serious questions on build quality.
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! 🙏
Personally I'm not a big fan of Porsche cars - but hell- an LS V8 sure make a difference ....keep up those awesome conversions
NEEDS A CARRERA LS BADGE FOR SURE
That’s a good idea!
Haha in Porsche font! Nice double take detail
Wow, that muffler setup is pretty ingenious and sounds pretty decent! I think the sound could benefit from an X pipe but seems that would be a difficult talk with how everything is setup. This guy truly loves what he does and was a joy hearing him talk about his creations.
Pretty nice fabrication on that exhaust system! Very clever!! Making good use of the materials as I like to say.
Love their quality and attention to detail. Not something you see in most swap shops. Im sure its pricey BUT seeing the detail itd be worth every penny!
Good to see the Renegade guys are still at it. Been thinking about a kit for my 74' 914 for 10+ years now. Good to know they do Boxsters too.
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
The best LS conversion I’ve ever seen! Great job!
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
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..🏁👍🏽
I'm so very very jealous, but fighting it down long enough to congratulate both builder and owner on an incredibly desirable swap. Wow!
A symphony through the tailpipes. Love how it 'gets out of the hole' with no wheelspin, just rocket-like acceleration.
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.
It looks controllable without crazy wheel spin. It won’t kill you. Well done. Fun car.
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!
Fantastic! Really cool conversion, well done
That is a beautiful car and it sounds great. Don't change the exhaust, it is rumbly enough. Good choice to do the work in Vegas
I’ve been waiting for this to show up again and I LOVE everything about it!!!
Well Bros,
This is an interesting alternative alteration to a blown up Porsche engine. Thanks for sharing this. Send you from the Netherlands
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 could listen to this guy talk about cars all day!
One of my favorite vlogs u posted JR!!! Anything Porsche related is A1!!!!! Love it!!!!
I appreciate that!
As a previous 997 ls swap owner... I can see some of the great options they offer and some of the things the other brand I used offered. RH has the better mount kit and adapter setup, it doesnt move the motor forward at all. Allowing the sway bar to be retained and not needing an oil filter relocation kit as with the other brand. RH also has the better throttle body/cold air setup as well. The other brand has the better can-bus harness solution thats plug & play while using a GM ecu, saving tons of money over a standalone as RH builds
The one complaint I see with the RH kit is the exhaust, specifically the mufflers being under the oil pan and the heat that creates. Thats not ideal for oil temps at all, minus that it's a very well sorted kit by a company thats been doing V8 Porsches since forever.
This is spectacular ! Pure quality craftmanship.
i actually really like that sound. it sounds like minimal drone which is important
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.
That’s sick,I hope you keep it,great vids
Idle rumble sounds so nice 🔥 Great work 💪🏼
That thing sounds AMAZING. Love a V8 rumble in a sports car like that. Bet they get some great business off of this.
That’s clean.Exhaust sounds great!
I have known Scott for 30+ years. Not a better guy on the planet!!!! You Rock Scott!
That is a superb job. I can not believe it fits so perfectly.
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.
Upgrade in reliability and torque, huge win! 😎🤘🏼
That guys is a master of his craft love the car ! Now just waiting on the Beamer bike to be done 👀🫡
My brother has a 996 911 with the renegade ls3 swap and is an amazing car and currently in the process of putting on twin turbos
He is as sharp as it comes. On top of everything. Very detailed and grandular.
very nice 911 with that reliable engine and thesound, u r lucky
Wow there's more space in that engine bay than with the flat 6, I work on my 911's and I tell you busted fingers are a norm, no matter what you're doing back there.....great job!
I remember trying to change that passenger side front sparkplug back in the 80's. Can't remember if it ever got changed.
This is one of my dream builds man thank you for updating us with a vid!
That exhaust work is mint 👌
This is awesome! It's definitely a great idea on the build!
What a great conversion, didn’t expact this.👌🏽👍🏽
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.
997.2 owner here. Love everything about your build.
Great.... another car I didn't know that I needed to own. Twin 6466's would be so much fun on that car, or a single 82mm. Amazing build y'all.... love it!!!
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!!!
Unbelievable craftsmanship and engineering expertise here... Wow!!!
Sounds and looks amazing!!
love it! I sold my 930 a few years back, but now I want one of these.
As much as I can't stand Flowmaster's design principles and the choke they can put on exhaust flow, I love the outside-the-box thinking to use them to mirror one another and create a Helmholtz resonator. I think I'd still prefer to see some type of muffler like Borla that utilizes uninterrupted continous flowpath with varying internal materials to suppress sound to desired levels. Regardless, what an incredible build! I've always been a big domestic sports and muscle car guy, but Porsches have really grown on me. This is absolutely the best of both worlds with basically every positive attribute you can think of: more power and torque where you can use it, more durable, less weight, and more compact. Simply incredible that all of that can come together in a package like that.
Renegade definitely gained a new subscriber just to see what else they do.
Dude this is sick! If you're planning on doing anything cosmetic with the car I suggest going with a dark green wrap and some bright silver wheels. Would compliment that interior and make it look so classy, but be a secret rocket ship!
The beauty of the 911 is its handling. The handling is great because the flat 6 engine lowers the center of gravity. Putting a tall V8 destroys the handling.
He’s turned a gorgeous German masterpiece into a Frankenstein mess doomed to failure. (Yes I know he bought it that way). I bought my 911’s with flat 6’s and the drive was glorious.
Congratulations man what a ride❤
Thanks!
Love the sound!
That exhaust sounds amazing. Now put a stock version VS you're car. Guy knows his stuff and he knows it well. The fabrication and the welds are good looking.
I love the sound and the fact that the Porsche and LS computer talk to each other.
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 😂
That thing is so straight beast. I love everything about it except the color. I’m not a huge gold car fan. Other than that it’s sick
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.
Sounds great and I think that would be a great car to drive everyday.
I've been watching Fiero & Corvair swaps but this is AMAZING . 1-bar BOOST
Love the fact that it's quiet and unassuming.
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,
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.
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??
Love this conversion. Love the car! You will enjoy this car very much.
Love it very professional shop cheers from OZ.
The muffler is not intrusive in interior sounds great 👍🏾
Love the color! Must take some testing that process.
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.
Love the sound these guys did a awesome job!!! I want one! :)
That's absolutely perfect and that's what someone who comes from Germany, the country where Porsche was born, says😂I have to say I love the LS3😍❤👍
The exhaust sounds good
Sounded fantastic!
Hands down i seen alot customs but men this is really UNIQE i love it im putting 6.2 LS3 in my E30
I wish I still had my old 914, 1.7 liter. WOW can’t believe how that thing drives.
Finally a conversion done right! Very nice!
can't wait to see a video on one of those otherwise lowly 914's turned into a monster rocketing down the street!
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
Love what these guys are doing with Porsche,s 😊
Man thats awesome. I forgot about this car.
Can’t say enough about this video. Loved it!
I would I love to do something like that. You guys really know how to have fun.👍🏻🇺🇸
We're absolutely impressed!😍
What a great idea 👍🏻 Love the gold ❤ how about emissions?
ERod works great for emissions!
I used to run track days with a guy that had a 911 w/LS7. Bad ass.
That took a long time! Was the carterpan modified to prevent the engine from oil starvation when driving fast through a corner
Didn't see any Chirons or F40s in the shop. LS swap everything crowd would love it.
Wow haven't seen a KQ bumper sticker like that in some time. Must be Tom's car! That exhaust note is awesome!
I didn't think Porsche could be improved but he did Porsche proud and thought out side the box moter🤔🫡😎
Wow, that is an amazing car! Love the sound. Looking forward to your trip home.
I had a beautiful 60K mile, 1999 996 with Brembo's, shifter, nice wheels and some other mods. Like an idiot, I sold it for $17K back in 2018 because I was busy building my house and didn't have time to drive it. Also, I think I spent way too much time on Rennlist reading about IMS, RMS, AOS, bore scoring and other m86 engine issues. In hind sight, I should have kept it and if the motor blew, do this Renegade swap.
I bought a 30K mile 2002 C5 Z06 last summer. I love the car and it does everything quite well but it doesn't have the build quality of a Porsche. I have a buddy that has a 2014 (I think) Cayman with a blown engine. It has around 80K miles and is in excellent condition and I think I could buy it for $5K. I have a good sized shop with a 4 post lift so would try to do the swap myself. I'm going to stop by Renegade or call and see what the swap kit would cost. I'd go for it if I could do the swap for under $10K. I wonder how much they charge for a swap?
It looks like the kit with everything not including mufflers is over $10K. Then you need to source a good LS of course. So figure $12K for the kit and such and somewhere from $2K to $9K for engine depending on new or used and which one.
