The best way to do a LS swap is to first swap the engine, then swap the chassis for one designed for the engine. In other words, just get a ‘Vette…

So, what happens when Porsche goes all battery power with the 911? How will you feel about swapping out batteries? There will no longer be a "911 engine", so what will the 911 be? In spite of what Porsches has said, that day is coming, and probably sooner than we think.

That's the end of my interest. They should double stack the batteries in the rear instead of all along the bottom so the car still has the 911 rear weight bias

Actually, my personal 911 interest ended with the 997 generation with the exception of the 991 based speedster as an outlier.

Haven't read the series but now I know what I'm asking for for Christmas.

The 911 will stay ICE powered thru 2030:

Me too Pete. In fact, that may be partly what is driving insane 997 prices - most serious Porsche guys know this, and want in on the last of the true feel 911's.

Linder--->I think the last of the true 911's would have to include the true aircooled smell which is why I think the 993 is probably the car to keep/save.
