[@deaks25]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a full blown conversation with myself when I'm puzzling a problem out. Also, the oil drip from the engine at the end when Jared was talking after seeing the snapped timing chain was kind of appropriate.

[@markbooysen9412]

Can't wait to see what's installed for the Porsche. PLEASE do not put a LS or any other engine in that(I'm convinced if you do Ferdinand Porsche might start haunting the QG). Build it with "racing" or performance internals and parts and turn it into a Porsche GT3 RS killer. Like someone you know that owns a purple one now😉😆. Keep up the good content buddy.

The IMS bearing is at the other end - have to remove the transmission to see the cover.

[@root1911]

It’s not questionable rather it’s adventurous! Good on you for taking a chance and branching out. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

[@douglasburnside]

I remember when I could remove the engine from my 1966 911 in about 15 minutes with nothing more than jackstands, a floor jack, a socket set and a couple of end wrenches. Two engine mount bolts, two transmission mount bolts, one bolt for the shift linkage, one fuel line, about three wires, the big hose from the oil tank, then drop the jack and roll the engine out from under the car. That two liter flat six put out a mighty 130 horsepower, and you got to choose between holes in pistons if you ran hot enough spark plugs to keep from oil fouling, or frequently fouled plugs. I tried both methods.

[@vintagekyoshodotcom]

Have faith. It’s still a Porsche. When you repair the engine you can upgrade,replace what will make the motor a whole lot more reliable! Can’t wait to see more!

[@Hybridesque]

There's a legendary thread on Pistonheads by poppopbangbang and his 996 C4S. So beautifully maintained.

[@mnswamp]

Watching you pull that beast of a motor, I [somewhat fondly] recall the utter simplicity of the 1300cc motors that preceded it. Disconnect 3 bits of shroud, the gas, throttle cable and electrical leads for the choke and coil, disconnect the heat ducts, jack up the rear end, disconnect the 4 bolts holding the motor to the transaxle and drop it. Of course, it also made 36 HP...

[@Exstaz]

I’m so impressed with Jared’s skills. He is probably doing this faster then a lot of Porsche mechanics tbh.

[@300DBenz]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a double roller timing chain broken. Ive seen them stretched from milage, but not straight up snapped.

Jarod your commentary is undoubtedly in my opinion the most well spoken. Your video editing is spot on. I am really enjoying this video. I would’ve thrown wrenches. pulling that motor. I hope the motor is savable. However, if it was not seen many LS swapped. How difficult would it be to be original with a coyote?

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Wow, thank you! The coyote engine is huge compared to the ls and original flat 6, not sure it could make it in!

[@MX304]

LS swaps get tight, and I don't know of any that kept the 4wd intact. A Coyote swap would be impossible. They are WAY too big to fit.

[@craigbomer8962]

I feel for ya. I flip cars as a hobby. The bulk of my experience is with GM minus a five year stint at a Porsche/Audi/VW/Jaguar dealership as a Porsche tech. I picked up a 2000 Subaru WRX for 500 bucks that was a "get it out of my yard, I'm tired of looking at it" kind of deal that I knew nothing about. That @#% car has thrown me more curveballs than anything I've ever worked on. I now know more about the EJ205 than I ever thought I would.

[@BCaldwell]

Can't wait to see the rest... Thanks Jared ✌️

[@ischmidt]

Based on the engine teardowns Eric on the I Do Cars channel does, there's two levels of German. There's the positive kind where it's thoughtfully designed and relatively easy to figure out, like the venerable air-cooled VWs and Porsches. And for everything else (modern VW/Audi, BMW and Mercedes) the engineers are seemingly locked into a contest to make everything as clever as possible with no regards to any kind of practicality.

[@tjroelsma]

Even that can be forgiven in my opinion if they at least build a durable engine by using quality components. Modern BMW engines are being built with as much plastic as humanly possible and plastic that goes through constant heat and stress cycles breaks, you don't have to be an engineer to be able to figure that one out. The VW/Audi group isn't far behind BMW and even "good old" Mercedes, a brand that used to boast that they used at least 6 bolts where others used "only" 4 bolts, has succumbed to the "make it as light and fallible as possible while still getting it through the warranty period" hype that's been driven by ever greedier manufacturers.

[@joe08867]

From hearing it started I knew the chains were gone. Hopefully you didn't murder the heads. And you'll be able to rebuild this motor. But I would do a full tear down and rebuild.

Glad to finally see/hear the Ferrari run and look forward to the tuning and hopefully a dyno run. Yes, you made the right choice buying the Poorsche as the body and trans are worth what you paid as a "roller". Yes, you should LS swap it with a Vortec SC and come away way happier with the end result and the $$ you can make if you flip it as long as all is done well and sorted. Renegade Hybrids comes to mind. Just my humble opinion. Good luck as a repair/rebuild of that engine, if even possible, will cost you big $$.

Even if he gets another engine, with the Porsche prices currently, he should be able to sell the 996 for at least 25k (of course after some clean and paint correction). There’s at least 8-10k profit there.

Put a stage two clutch on mine and clutch system was replaced also I did a bearing replacement with the upgraded bearings.

[@nukedathlonman]

Wow - I've seen a lot of badly stretched chains, and far-far-FAR too many broken timing chain tensioners... But I've never seen a chain broken and bunched up the cam gears like that before... Hopefully the motor is in better shape then the gut wrenching felling I've got in my stomach upon seeing that... Looking forward to seeing the fully tuned Ferrari in due time, I'm sure (Mrs.) Wizard is looking forward to taking it out for a cruise. I'll admit, Holley EFI wasn't the first system that jumped into my mind - just never seen Holley outside the usual American V8's (well, the odd American 6's here and there - but nothing really beyond those applications spring to mind). However, I'm glad it's installed and working. I do hope this will lead to more opportunities to see Holley EFI pop up more often, esp. in less traditional applications. 🙂

I hope the Porsche works out for you. Maybe you could be the first to swap in a lexus v8 into it to aggravate all the purists in both camps! At least your garage is half way towards the "justifying a higher education" poster now.

[@liamwang7595]

K swap it? They sell kits to do it with a plug n play harness n custom mounts

[@MarchHare59]

The condition of the engine will probably determine if the Porsche will be a runner or a parts car. The body and interior are in decent shape, and even if the engine is trash, the manual gearbox should be worth something, so lot of parts to pick from. If it wasn't a flip car I might have suggested that it be combined with the Tesla from a previous episode and made into an EV but I don't know if the result will have any resale value or not.

Instead of an LS how about a Subaru EJ 30 six cylinder? Three hundred hp is doable w/o boost, it's water cooled and should fit the hole you have.
