Default 944 LS Conversation Shops in the Mid-Atlantic?

Looking to swap an Chevy Performance LS3 into an 89 S2. My days of having time to do engine swaps are long gone and I'm looking for any recommendations to perform this swap. I'm located in the DC area, but will drive a couple hours if needed.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations

If money isn't an option Renegade Hybrids makes a kit but also does do installs which look quite nice as they fully integrate everything to work as stock. I thought I read once they even had a deal on turn key LS3s. They are obviously not on the east coast but maybe they can even figure out the shipping and what not with you. Another option is to try on the Porsche forums. Some people over there will be upset but I know there are decent people on there that will be willing to help you with some answers.

I'd give Jason Miller at MSPMaryland a call. They mainly do LS into JDM vehicles but have also done several European swaps.

Yes, def considering Renegade Customs for the conversation kit. Unfortunately I think their backlog is several years long.

I just posted to Rennlist. We'll see how that goes...
