Sweet build, subscribed. I have most all the parts to do this same swap, but am planning to just have the corvette torque tube shortened so no adapters.

Hmmm... we have a Tremec T56 6-speed kit for those 928's equipped with a Renegade LS or SBC swap; and we lengthen the TTube and driveshaft to get rid of those adapters when we do it. We are making one of these for Blagave right now.

SpearLazyT....just spoke with Carl and my setup is as you indicated.....torque tube to bell housing. Travis at renegade missed something along the way. I will be removing the adapter plate.

Hit a mile stone today. Drilled 5/8" hole is engine cross member and bolted engine in. The only issue I have, is I bought the wrong accessory bracket kit. The alternator should be on the bottom side of the motor. I have seen pictures of other LS conversions that have Alt. on top, it looks like you just need to cut the bracket for power steering line off wheel well and then it will fit (tight)

The bracket setup you are referring to is used on the F-body cars. 1998-2003? Camaro/Trans-am etc.

Pulled motor out to remove bell housing and adapter. Going to send back to Renegade, since Carl is making the toque tube bolt on to stock bell housing, which came with the trans I purchase.
I installed new hi torque starter and finished up the dust shield.. |

Welding in the holes for where the the rubber spoiler bolted on. Also going delete rear wiper and side marker lights. Found some filler on drivers side rear marker, I can't see any damage repair inside well, rear etc. can't imagine Porsche using filler.

Very nice! Am considering the rear wiper delete, but am trying to avoid removing the glass and my sheet metal guy is concerned about welding heat impacting the adhesive. Thoughts? I see you have removed your back glass.
Am also considering the door lock delete, but thin aluminum.. |

Am also considering the door lock delete, but thin aluminum.. I have been talking with Tony (Peachy) and will be doing similar deletes. The aluminum will be tricky, but at least with tig welding you can direct the heat and adjust the ramp up. |
Excellent project, and amazing attention to detail!!
