Stay tuned … Find a 1999 Porsche 911 for sale I plan to repeat every single test with the new engine, and I’m betting the performance difference will be impressive - perhaps even besting the Corvette and 911 Turbo I could have purchased for the same amount of money. Before blowing the original engine, my Porsche had completed a dyno test, several quarter mile runs, and a fateful appearance on a road course. While it’s difficult to prove that I’m not totally insane, I will have some data to back up my feeling of satisfaction. Thankfully, after the driving the finished project, I don’t have an ounce of regret. On paper, this makes me look like a lunatic, or a total idiot - or both. If you combine it with what I’ve invested in the 911 since I purchased it over a year ago, I could have bought a nice 996-chassis 911 Turbo. In total, I spent $17,043 on this conversion, which is enough to buy me nice Corvette C5 Z06. The car wizard generously figured my help with the swap earned a $1,260 discount in the labor charges, and I sold the old broken 3.4-liter flat-6 for $1,500. It took another $3,867 in extra parts to complete the conversion - which coincidentally, nearly matches the $3,864 for the 85 hours in labor. Miraculously, he was able to figure it all out, but at great cost. Once we un-boxed the kit, my mechanic - who certainly solidified his title of The Car Wizard after this project - realized how incomplete this kit was, and he was further shocked by the lack of instructions. I eventually found a complete LS2 with all accessories out of a wrecked 2006 Corvette with 60,000 miles, and I had it shipped to my mechanic’s shop for $4,750.Ĭombined, these two bits were thousands more than what I paid for this tatty 911 with 248,000 miles in the first place. I was also told that finding one of these engines being sold with its wiring harness, engine computer and throttle pedal would also help save me from buying extra parts. Sourcing a motor also proved expensive, as I was instructed that I needed to find an LS2 or LS3, since their aluminum blocks ensure they weigh roughly the same as the stock Porsche flat-6. There are several other bits that make this unlikely conversion possible - and since I wanted AC and power steering, the kit in its entirety totaled a whopping $7,322.00.

The biggest expense of the project was the conversion kit, which includes an adapter to mate the aluminum V8 to the Porsche transmission, as well as a special mount arm to secure the engine to the chassis.

Now that the project is finally done - and I’ve added up the costs - fixing what once was the cheapest Porsche 911 in the USA has cost way more than I ever expected. I had never attempted such a massive project before, and I was totally clueless. It’s been four months (almost to the day) since I announced that I was swapping a Chevrolet LS V8 into my 1999 Porsche 911.
