    Wicked! LS1-swapped Porsche 968

    The guys at Renegade Hybrids do a hell of a job! Check out this LS1 perfectly shoehorned into a Porsche 968

    Just beautiful, and I bet it goes like hell too

    They're one of my favorite automotive companies of all time - they put Chevy V8s into 928s, 944s, 911s, 968s, and 914s. They also have a pretty mean kit to convert a 914 to use a Subaru STi turbo flat-4

    Here's a video of an STi-powered 914 doing a few donuts

    Above all, their conversions are absolutely clean and reliable.

    What's the weight difference between the LT1 they suggest and the 968's stock motor? It shouldn't be too much. The aluminum SBC's are pretty light.

    This particular engine is an LS1. With everything hooked up and running it's actally a few pounds lighter than the stock engine - the balance is untouched.

    Bah. Well I guess I can't stop anyone from being a purist, but the 928 engine costs an arm and a leg to maintain, weighs a lot more, gets far worse fuel economy, costs many thousands more to tune, and almost definitely wouldn't even fit. Basically, this offers every possible advantage except bragging rights with purist snobs.

    No. It's much better than the stock engine.

    This is good shit. It going to cost less to maintain a car like that since it doesn't have a Porsche engine anymore.
    I like this one. It's for sale.

    I found a video on the site.
