  • Thanks!!!

  • Sick

    

  • when did you create the ls1 convertions because renegade has been doing it for years.

  • I did my fist LS1 conversion in 1999;

    I was the first in the world to do the LS1 conversion on the Porsche 911 and 914.

    Scott at Renegade will attest to this. I visited with Scott last time I went to Las Vegas. He is a fine gentleman who is proud of my accomplishment and has complimented me positively for my projects.

  • @toyjet2000 do you use any of his parts? and i do like your rides man they are clean. my dad had a a914 with a zz4 in it. 911 break kit. it was stolen right out of my driveway. miss that car

  • No, I do not, although Renegade produces a good LS1 kit, from what I have read and seen.

    Just to end this debate:

    I am not claiming I did the first V8 conversion. I think that title goes to Rod Simpson out of California.

    As I stated earlier, I produced the first LS1 kit and did the first LS1 - 911& 914 conversion.

    I will have to admit though, Renegade made V8 conversions more popular than any other conversion shop that I know.

    Thanks for your inquiry.

  • I love it!! This video was so hard to find.. I have been thinking about this conversion for a while.. Now I see that someone did it. with GREAT TASTE!!!!

    GREAT VIDEO (Please add some more tags to it will be easier to find)

  • @QWILDER

    Thanks I will do.

  • Nice work toyjet!!! Good to see a fellow defiler of PCars. I went with a NA old school small block. (click on my tag to see)

    Be safe, you're not kidding about the brakes....check out Renegade, they have a kit for all 4 corners for about $1200, better than the C2/C4 conversions and cheaper.

  • @Myfast911

    Thanks for the info.

    You have a very nice website.

    Nice Work!

  • I know this guy, the clip doesn't do his cars justice. They are bad ass hands down....especially thie silver 911. One of the fastest in Galveston County

  • Thanks for the compliment!!

  • what tranny are you using in the 911?

  • 1980 Porsche 915 Tranny

  • I have the stock 1974 suspension. I bought this car, took the flat four out, and then just dropped in the LS1.

    I did not upgrade the brakes but I need to.

    It is hard to stop when de-accelerating from 140mph.

  • OK, just saw Toy Rocket :-) That's a subject near and dear to my heart... Can you post some suspension specs? What springs/struts did you use to get that stance? Are you running bigger brakes to haul that LS1 down?

  • Thanks!

    It was fun.

  • thats un....beleivable. I thought it was crazy when guys would stuff 350s in these but an LS1? thats to much XD

    amazing cars, they look like an enginering masterpiece.

  • That is sick love it would be fun toys to play with.

  • Thanks!

    I am like a kid in a candy store with these cars. They are really fun to drive.

  • Sorry, I accidentally remove your post asking about my power to weight ratio.

    2720 pounds/580hp which is rounded to 4.7

    Thanks.

  • I like the idea,but I perfer a cleaner look,rad in front tilted,,electric fans electric pump

  • Thanks for viewing the site, I just had to be different. I bought my car almost new from the original owner and I just could not see myself cutting on it. I guess one of these days I will get pass the sentimental value.

    Thanks again!

  • Fine job !!!!

  • Thanks!!

  • I need one, are any for sale?

  • Radiator system for use on automobiles having rear engines Patent no.(6505696) Filed: March 5, 2001 Issued: January 14, 2003 Go to yahoo then type in USPTO then: Click on United States Patent and Trademark Office. Click on Patent Click on Search Patent Click on Quick Search In the Term 1 field enter 6505696 FYI This patent was submitted after the research and development of the cooling system for my LS1 conversions.
  • Sorry,

    I beg the differ, I did my conversions 8 years ago. I have the documentation and a US Patent to boot.

  • Interesting. OK. I have reached out to the WI gentleman for his response. Out of curiosity, for what did you receive a patent on this conversion? Thanks!

  • Cool conversions. One claim you make, however, is not factually accurate. These are NOT the original conversions to LS1-based engines in a 914. That title goes to a Wisconsin man who fabricated and who has been driving and racing his for nearly 5 years. It recently sold on ebay.

  • REALLY COOL!!! :-)

  • Thanks!!!

  • Fact:

    I did my conversions 8 years ago.

  • Believe me it is Fun!!!! Thanks.

  • BAD ASS CARS!!!!

  • Thanks!!!

  • Thanks for the compliment!
