Thanks for sharing .Your workmanship is outstanding (Looks like it came from the factory)
What's the secret on the electronics ?I assume you run both the Porsche and GM ECU's .The real question is how do you make one smog legal ?

Where did you get the 90 degree elbow? It looks nice.

Both ECU's are wired, using both oil pressure senders and water temp sensers, tach is spliced in to the gm harness, Cooling fans still work off the Porsche ECU, Fuel pump is wired to the GM, Remote water pump is wired to GM. Smog legal, well that's one good thing about Louisiana.

Very nice. Seeing the LS3 from inside the car is very interesting. It looks like you can still do all of the basic maintenance on the LS3 with engine in the vehicle; spark plugs are accessible, belts are accessible, etc.

V8 looks very good in the 911. I can't wait to see this car fully operational and running on the streets, it should be awesome.

Very cool! You have skills!

I wonder how the car will handle once it is all done. Would love to see a video.

Fierofly, I have followed most of your build over on the LSX forum. You are a true craftsman. You have done a favor to the rest of us, by documenting your build. I appreciate how you took the time to do everything right. You did such a beautiful job that I almost think that you should have made the aluminum engine cover out of plexiglass....just so everybody could admire your craftsmanship.

Thanks for your service. Your occupation is evident in the cleanliness of your shop and how your engine is clean enough to eat off of. Good luck finishing your build. I look forward to hearing about your first drive. Did you abandon the idea of twin turbos? The ducts that you made for the back windows looked cool, but took away from your "sleeper" status.

Thanks so much for the support and kind words. Took it out for a real short around the block ride today with the cats only installed, IT IS a monster, need to get it registered, insured and an exhaust to start road testing.

This is extraordinarily well done. But that doesn't make it right. :-)

IDK, with the M96 motor, I may prefer a Frakenporsche!
