Chevy LS3 to Porsche Boxster update 6.27.2015 - She runs good!

Well she's not 100% yet, but close enough to give it some road time!

[@bigbudha168]

what gear box are you using?

[@random816]

Just using the factory 6-speed manual gearbox with an adapter kit from Kennedy Engineering - Works well! Thanks! J

[@random816]

Well still for sale but i'm not about to give it away, car is way to awesome :) Pretty sure the plate is 2", i'll measure it next time I open it up. Thanks!

[@stilianospanos852]

Great build! I'm interested in the car if its still for sale. thanks!

[@random816]

Hi Stilianos, if you had sent this message about a month ago then the answer would have been a definite yes, but right now things have turned around a bit for me and at this moment I am going to hang on to it. I'll post a new video here soon but will keep you posted if I decide to sell it - THANKS!

[@stilianospanos852]

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the new video!

Hey! its me again. I remember you saying you broke drive shafts. Can I buy them from you? i need to make custom drive shafts for my build and need the inner shaft portion. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thx!!

[@random816]

Hey~ I did break 2 outer CVs as well as snapped a shaft in 2 pieces but I know I sent most of them in for warranty as they were all new parts. I'll check through my stash to see if there are any broken ones. To be honest the best thing to do is just buy new ones. I am almost certain that the inner CVs are standard 108mm which are used on the 930 - 911's and is known for being super strong, but lots of companies make even better ones and they are pretty reasonable. The problem I had was with the outer CVs as they are only like 104mm and not a standard size. Check this place out - www.pacificcustoms.com/drivetrain-and-transmissions.html Good luck!

What an awesome project! I know this was a few yrs ago but great job! Do you own the her? I have one and this has spiked my interest in doing a swap for a V8.

[@ImagesOfPurgatory]

What an awesome build, as soon as I got my 99 2.5 I started thinking about an LS1 swap

[@RJCoAustralia]

Very cool. No luck getting the tach to work?

[@random816]

Video is a year and a half old, tach works fine. Used a product called Tach-Adapt - A brilliant piece of work - ashlocktech.com

[@RJCoAustralia]

Oh my bad for same reason it says uploaded 20th feb? Awesome mate thanks Im doing a 911 LS1 currently if you wanna check my channel. And i was looking at options to get the tach working so cheers mate

[@random816]

No worries at all, I had taken the videos offline for a bit and just re-published them today so that is the reason for the confusion, no worries! Cool i'll check out your build! We are building a 996 convertible for a customer right now with and LS3 RSR race motor :) That Tach adapt will work well for you, very simple to use, very adjustable and very cheap for all the headaches it saves!!! Good luck!

[@random816]

Holy crap, how did I never see this comment?!!? Been good Jose!! hope you've been well man! We need to catch up!!

[@ianchmp]

Thanks, I continue to enjoy your videos. I may need some help with the fuel injection on my early 928 -- for a guy on a budget is there a shop here in Marietta that you might recommend?

[@random816]

Hello, thanks! Well I would be glad to check with my boss and see if he is interested in checking it out, we mostly work on air-cooled 911's and 356's but the boss and I were actually working on a 928 that he bought today and got it running well again. My shop is Check point Auto, website with details is www.ckptauto.com. If we can;t take care of it I have another recommendation or two up my sleeve, just give me a call at the shop - 770*951*1777 Thanks~ J

[@ianchmp]

Appreciate it!
