Hey, I am glad to see this on TH-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!!
Holy crow, I have never seen a master welder like this. That welding helmet alone is like two months salaries, what an artist Josh is. And he enjoys it as I can see. That build is just wicked.
This is one of the best builds I've seen!! The guy doing the fabrication really knows what he's doing! The horsepower numbers were impressive!! Graat video!!
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! 👏🏻 Greetings from West Chester,PA
-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. "A garage without a Porsche is just a dark hole" -Walter Rohrl - Porsche Development
this is actually a dope build … i’m a huge porsche fan boy but i also love corvettes . So this is the best or both worlds. Can’t wait for it to be completely dialed
If I brought in a 2002 911 what would it ballpark to build a similar setup? Labor, LS donor with a top-end refresh, leakdown and even pressured cylinders, whatever fuel delivery upgrades, and that awesome fab work on the plumbing - what are we in the ballpark of to do that?
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
Let me tell you guys, I think that what you guys did, is the best option, because porches part are very expressive and not that available, so LS swapped is the best (in power and cost ) for a race and road driving used. Congratulations and keep the good work, I will be waiting for more upgrades
Great job! 👍 I got a L92 getting built to swap in my 996 this winter I initially planned to turbocharge it but i decided for my first porsche LS swap i would go N/A .. a lot simpler .. a lot less complication as you guys demonstrated Defenitly will build a turbo one at one point Nice work guys .. fantastic build ... I love your shop
I'm not usually any fan of contaminating a 911 with a USA made V8 engine but in this case the planning and execution is so clean and professional and the results so impressive, I'll give this one a big thumbs up. I'd expect similar results if Porsche's engineers decided to do the same thing.
Scrap Life Garage you earned my subscription with the handle and the v8 Porsche, I used to do stuff like this back in the 70's-2010 and also built from scrap many times.
We've ( my son and I ) have a built K24 swapped 91 MR2 that I'd love to run against that thing around the track. It's already one of the fastest cars I've ever been in and we haven't even turboed it yet. That Porsche is wicked btw!✌
I live in Australia and i wish we had guys with as much talent as he has, instead you get things fabricated abd have to go back 8 times till it is done right! Your the man !!!!
It's a Dynojet and STD, so compared to a 650 hp 992 Turbo S, it's about 930 hp to the crank. and 790 to the wheels. Not bad. The clutch will be fine. It's rated for 700 lb.ft using SAE and a load based dyno. If you measure by that, you're making about 650 lb.ft, not 754 lb.ft.
When it comes to heat & cooling ,figuring out a way of adding extra (plate size/Porsche surge fans) cooling fans ,pretty much 'everywhere' to have the heat either pushed or extracted...(on demand with well placed heat/temp sensors & gages)..i met Chip Foose once with other people carefully listening to him talking about swaps & builds ,and one thing that stuck with me when he said..'guys ,no matter what kind of build or swap you're fabricating ,the true success to any reliable engine set-up is HEAT CONTROL no matter what..so you must go over the top when it comes to controlling ,water/oil/ engine & exhaust heat in that bay..!!
Beautiful in every way, love it. Numbers for sure, weight of car before and after, weight distribution, change %. Costs yes, that's paramount, side by side comparison with Lee's car will be very interesting. Put up a Part III video notice don't want to miss it! I love making my own exhaust systems, that guy is a pro for sure.
official demon update: Things are working in the background, demon parts have been slow to come in and I’ve had to finish the ZR1 and 911 Turbo. When the next demon video drops, there won’t be any more gaps. It will be video after video after video. Trust me guys, it’ll be worth the wait!
I had a guy put on a very nice set of custom headers on my 75 Nova. Then my starter went bad, so I went to replace it. He also welded the collectors to the 3-inch pipes. Needless to say...he was lying on the ground in my driveway with a saws all.
Great video , but, there's no follow up video and you didn't talk about the bottom end of the LS motor and I'm not sure why a twin turbsky as opposed to a supercharged LS. There was a comment about not enough clearance for the supercharger but I'm not seeing that.
Wow, what a factory type installation. Very impressed. Why not a DCT transmission or are they fragile also with all the torque. With DCT no worries missed shifts. Plus maximum acceleration with computer shifting vs human.
Go with G force gears! I just had rpm transmissions build my tr6060. I went level 7 and added the faceplated G force gears. It will hold anything you throw at it.
That guy is an artist with the pipes 👍🏻
Yus
Thanks!
He is……
artist with any fabrication..... top notch!
pause.

THATS IS THE BEST SOUNDING PORSCHE I HAVE EVER HEARD!!
Por-vette
Carrera GT?
@@jahse7814 The only way a Porsche can sound good is with a Chevrolet motor!
Holy crow, I have never seen a master welder like this. That welding helmet alone is like two months salaries, what an artist Josh is. And he enjoys it as I can see. That build is just wicked.
How much is it?
@@drodriguez1724 Thanks lol, its not expensive though especially in the world of welding helmets, only $270.
This is absolutely sick. Probably one of the best LS swaps in a Porsche!
im a porsche purist , my next 997 is getting an LS3 swap once IMS fail. THIS IS THE WAY, IVE SEEN THE LIGHT.
This is one of the best builds I've seen!! The guy doing the fabrication really knows what he's doing! The horsepower numbers were impressive!! Graat video!!
This is the most I have learnt on exhaust fab watching a video like this. No bs just sweet raw action clips. So sick thank you 🙌🏻
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! 👏🏻
Greetings from West Chester,PA
why he just made it better and reliable
That's a relief - what ever would they do without your approval?
Amazing! That's how every Porsche should come out of the factory, with a v8 high horsepower reliable low maintenance engine
Don’t know what Josh is getting paid for this fab work but from the looks of it it’s worth it.
Josh knows his SH%T!!! 👍✌️
NOT ENOUGH, jk
Been a 911 lover since 1978. I just watched one of my dream builds. Awesome work. Cheers from Oz.
This video is freaking epic! Love everything about this build!

This dude this badass fabricator is the Real Deal!!
Initially I thought nooooo sacrilege but what an awesome job. Absolutely mental. 100% sick 👍🏻
I’m just glad y’all took the ZR1 to the best at RPM. Can’t wait for that first drive!!
this is actually a dope build … i’m a huge porsche fan boy but i also love corvettes . So this is the best or both worlds. Can’t wait for it to be completely dialed

holy cow that was fun...looking foward to more awesome content!

Love the build guys. Really enjoyed the build. Keep the good work up.
Aww, Pocono Raceway... Brings back many memories! Thanks for posting this!
The fact that the factory cluster works flawless means thats a perfect built
Bring on the head to head be great to see,looking forward to more porshe 👌
You asked what we want to see. Simple answer. All of the above please. Outstanding Project!
I love the ScrapLife channel. Have multiple Porsches and y’all are best content!
Great job! 👍

Defenitly will build a turbo one at one point
Nice work guys .. fantastic build ... I love your shop
I love your content and always wait for something new ! You guys are awesome !!!
This might sound sus but dudes pipe work is impeccable
That exhaust guy is a master fabricator. so cool to watch him work
I honestly don’t care what anybody thinks. This is the best freaking thing I’ve seen all year I might have to buy this car.
the freedom you have, we can only dream of here in germany. the TÜV is the biggest obstacle

They already did, in the 90's. They called it Cayenne 😅
so very cool. great work. manifolds looked amazing!!
Man,that "blood crossing"!Pure art!
Scrap Life Garage you earned my subscription with the handle and the v8 Porsche, I used to do stuff like this back in the 70's-2010 and also built from scrap many times.
Soooooo badass, can't wait to see it once it's finally dialed to make passes.
It's so obvious I'm a Corvette guy. I love that thing!!!! It's the coolest Porsche ever!!!!I need one!!!!😮
Wow, this is an incredible fusion of power and style!
That thing is awesome, well done!
We've ( my son and I ) have a built K24 swapped 91 MR2 that I'd love to run against that thing around the track. It's already one of the fastest cars I've ever been in and we haven't even turboed it yet. That Porsche is wicked btw!✌
I could watch these fab videos all day long . Extremely satisfying to watch him build that kit out .
I live in Australia and i wish we had guys with as much talent as he has, instead you get things fabricated abd have to go back 8 times till it is done right! Your the man !!!!
Great job guys, really like what you have created, well done 👍
Damn I bet that’s fun to rip around on thanks for the videos your def one of my favorite u tube channels love the stuff u do keep it up
Excellent work, guys; the look on Frans's face was priceless
Excellent fab and welding skills! There's nothing like watching a master at work.
Awesome project! And yes, by all means, more!
Josh is a beast when it comes to fabricating!! Shoutout bud!!
That man can weld and fabricate! What incredible work he does
all that extra power came from that beautiful efficient exhaust
That's a really angry 911 with that motor swap. I didn't expect it would be such a mean thing.
This is amazing and crazy dream creation status!! I’d never sell that thing!
Thats an artist right there!
Josh is a helluva craftsman!!
That has got to be the sickest Porsche I have ever heard nice 💯
It's a Dynojet and STD, so compared to a 650 hp 992 Turbo S, it's about 930 hp to the crank. and 790 to the wheels. Not bad.
The clutch will be fine. It's rated for 700 lb.ft using SAE and a load based dyno. If you measure by that, you're making about 650 lb.ft, not 754 lb.ft.
I really enjoyed watching this, outstanding one of a kind custom shop.
Good to see how humble those dudes are.🤙

Wow, that dude gots all dem skillz. Well done!!!
WHERE IS THE DODGE DEMON?!?!?!
Agreed!!!????? What happened????
Forget the demon!
Parts hunting, he said it in the last video.
We don't speak about that 😢
official demon update:
Things are working in the background, demon parts have been slow to come in and I’ve had to finish the ZR1 and 911 Turbo.
When the next demon video drops, there won’t be any more gaps. It will be video after video after video.
Trust me guys, it’ll be worth the wait!
Would like to see more about this amazing car ! Enjoyed watching every episode ! Well done guys
Great editing for this most interesting project.
Great to see artisans at work.
Yes, I'd like to see the numbers, too.
Sounds fantastic. You need to put a VY on the end of the Porsche script on the sides of the car.
Come on man give us for sure more videos from the 997's.greatings from GREECE
Badass Alex I love the Porsche build man nice to see something different!!!
Incredible build! I absolutely love it!
Took it to the BEST Ls tuners around too!! So awesome this build!
LS3 is a damn good platform! Makes everything better!
The coolest part of driving a Porsche is the distinctive sound. From the docile, almost funny hoover sound, to the wild flat-6 roar. Why change this ?
I’d like to see a drag race / roll race between both porches
Sounds half decent 😊
I had a guy put on a very nice set of custom headers on my 75 Nova.
Then my starter went bad, so I went to replace it.
He also welded the collectors to the 3-inch pipes.
Needless to say...he was lying on the ground in my driveway with a saws all.
Damn Guys !!! I'm highly impressed !! Yep, I'm thinking I want to do this.
Great video , but, there's no follow up video and you didn't talk about the bottom end of the LS motor and I'm not sure why a twin turbsky as opposed to a supercharged LS. There was a comment about not enough clearance for the supercharger but I'm not seeing that.
Been keeping up with this build on Facebook! Very nice
I love the crackling exhaust note!
Such a sick build.
Love the videos and the knowledge these guys have. What a BA build. Thanks!
Those pipes are a piece of art bro
Wow, what a factory type installation. Very impressed. Why not a DCT transmission or are they fragile also with all the torque. With DCT no worries missed shifts. Plus maximum acceleration with computer shifting vs human.
ALL you young fellers doing Superb work. I Love to see that. Best Regards.
Go with G force gears!
I just had rpm transmissions build my tr6060. I went level 7 and added the faceplated G force gears.
It will hold anything you throw at it.
Finest of German and Finest of American. Love it.
That is an Awesome job! I don't think the turbos and really necessary for a fun street car but, hey, it worked!
Now that's a BADASS Porshe!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Them chair glides got me 😅 amazing build dude
You guys make this stuff look wayyyy easier than it is
What a monster, sounds great!
Every video is like Christmas! Love your content!
Great video, monster power!
Tuned by Fran too? Thing is gonna be a rocket! RPM is a great shop.
what trailer do you use
There is a fella in Tulsa that has a 911 with an LS swap it’s totally sick. I wish I had the money for one. Keep it Spicy love these videos.
Finally a porsche that sounds good .
Is this old footage or are is the Z/28 with highlighter rims in EVERY video
