New to LS1's my hybrid Porsche 911 (update 6/3/12) I am new to the forum, live in upstate NY (Rochester), and looking for advice. I am currently midway through a complete break down and rebuild of my Porsche 911/930 Turbo wide body. I am setting it up to run an LS1 motor in the back with cooling in the front. I chopped and dropped the top 3 inches.
the car will weigh in at ~2000 pounds when finished.
My knowledge of how to pick the correct engine year and what not is minimal.
Any help or advice would be great.
some pictures below. It is sitting high with no engine or fuel cell right now.

I have sometime the car won't be ready for the engine till ~January. I still have a lot of body work and weight reduction left. The car will be getting 4 inches wider and is 3 inches shorter with a better angle to the windshield. I also have to mount the fuel cell, radiator & cut, tuck and roll the hood.

just out of curiosity, are you the original owner?

thanks all,
update below with series pictures. Does anyone know where to pick up a LS1 in the northeast for a good price? I am in NY and willing to drive.
Below is my 1st attempt at making a side scoop. I mode both side but finished only one side to see how it will look. The final product will be blended into the cars sides I should be finished this weekend. One is for engine induction other is for oil & tranny coolers:

I need to get water pump gaskets.
a MAP sensor
test the alternator
clean and test the injectors
drop off the throttle body to be ported
look for headers
work on some custom plumbing.
