Default 1-off V8 Swap Kit

$1800 shipped to any US-48..... Just PM

Everything needed for a basic swap minus the oil-pan (I suggest getting TPC's) as This kit uses TPC's AC-compatible POWDER-COATED uprights and allows maximum steering rack clearance. The X-member is precision line-bored at the control arms for exact 3/4" drop, relieved at the rack mounts (for max oil-pan clearance) and slotted at the Upright mounts for aft movement. It was then acid washed, primered, and painted . Again, I guarantee your hood will close (with no cutting) even with the taller power steering rack. 3/4" billet X-member spacers and 3/4" longer X-member zinc-plated bolts and washers. 3/4" Sway bar spacers. 3/4" bump-steer tie-rod drop blocks (You will need to get a set of MANUAL rack outer tie-rods...Rock Auto $25/ea). Bolt-on Modded 13/16" Wilwood MC and custom adjustable pushrod adapter (Includes Wilwood accessories). 30" -4an stainless braided line and Wilwood NPT adapter. Brand New Anodized and Pre-Modded C5 throwout bearing with -4an lines included to fit the C5 Bellhousing adapter with TT mounting hardware all included. Your chioice of an LS or LT/SBC pilot bearing adapter and new pilot bearing. I redesigned the 1/4" thick 2000 series alloy brake MC adapter for factory 944 MC and a longer custom adjustable pushrod adapter. It has a seperate billet plate that removes so the larger firewall plate can be re-used for Hydroboost or Dual MC mount later. Kit comes with New construction 4140 custom steering shaft with brand new Borgeson U-joints made for the 3/4" X-member drop. It is adjustable due to the Double D ends. Comes lengthened exactly 1/2" but can be extended or shortened by end-user.....Also included is my new universal billet-polyurethane transmission mount (85.5-up only) that set the drivetrain at factory position or 1/2" back for the V8 swap with swappable set-screws..... And to sweeten the pot, I'm adding in one of my Short Shifters, all Chromoly design with Teflon Heim....

My Kit can swap in ANY Chevy V8 and do it without having to hack the hood. I Used the Moroso 20140 Oil pan and it works perfect. The Headers I modded were Hooker 2312's, But TPC has long tubes that he custom builds. I got my 5.3L swap done right under $5k using these exact parts and a $40 Dodge Clutch Disc, but Spec makes a Clutch kit for the swap as well in different stages/kevlar etc. All the info is posted on 944Hybrids.com and the people that have done the swap are very helpful.

Strut clearance....

With a 3/4" X-member drop, you'll have right at 1/2" Clearance between the LS1 intake and a strut bar.... My engine/drivetrain is dropped 1.25" and sets back 1/2" with the custom trans mount.....

Which strut bar did you go with? Every time I read through this, I start thinking it's time to pull the turbo engine and go to the dark side.

I finished building it yesterday. I was flogging it at lunch and it is solid as a rock.
