2003 Porsche 996 C4S, LS3 Conversion
#81
65k on the old motor, sold it on E-bay for $2k. Looked rebuild able with very little wear. I wouldn't put another Porsche motor in it even if it was free. This is going to be a so much better car with the LS maybe 7 if I can get the funds right. Just started my new position on the B52's. Still a little gun shy on fund spending with this Gov shut down and now some more 2014 furloughs being disgust.

Got parts from Renegade. Now I've got to get serious about getting an engine.

Thanks! Really nice project... anxious to see more progress and hopefully start my own next summer!

Looking at your pics in your link and looks like they changed the coolant outlet to a one piece unit similar to Toy-jet's instead of the two separate blocks. Can you confirm? Are they still plastic hose fittings?

If I ever do mine, I would be tempted to run the LS3 water pump with spacers like White Out did. (https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...96-ls1-13.html). I just don't see the benifit of having an electric external pump and remote t-stat when you can run good ole mechanical.
Oh I know how "priorities" and "wife" sound like... we are selling our house to move to another city 70 miles from here this summer... but I get a garage and maybe the chance to wrench on an LS engine at last.
Keep us posted, even if you just polish a nut.

the plastic "gann" fittings are ok but will deteriorate over time. I am running custom billet blocks with an fittings. much nicer quality. but they do require a little more coin too.
