Please do not hesitate to call at (530) 677-8600 for general questions! So as you can see we've given this some serious thought.I found a few threads showing a guy had already put a 1uz into a 944, and began researching that route, the 1uz is a monster and can be tuned to silly levels with bombproof internals.Last week i bought a complete 1uz and an adapter plate from XSchop in the US to mate it all to the 944 torque tube...This uses the T56 clutch slave....I will be using a modified Camry Fidanza flywheel with its ring gear reversed and an Mr2 turbo clutch pressure plate, an Audi V6 240mm 23 spline disc completes the drivetrain.The car itself has had its 2.5 removed, bay gutted, cleaned and ready for hotwork.Ok so as part of this swap the 944 brake servo gets in the way, and has to go, now some 944 V8 swappers just mount their master cylinder unassisted onto the firewall as a solution, but i want assisted brakes on this thing. POC, PCA and SCCA legal. But held up waiting for parts on customers cars gives me the chance to catch up on my own stuff.Not a bad finish at all...Gasket set and head bolts ordered, along with cambelt and new idlers etc, pretty happy i don't have to fully rebuild it.More hotwork got done in the engine bay, mostly because of the BMW Hydroboost system i am fitting to make sure my brakes work well, this unit sits very compactly compared to a regular servo system, but i did need to make room for it alongside the left strut tower which has been rebuilt with much thicker plate and supports in places you cannot see in these pics, i still have a lot of dressing to do, seam sealing and cosmetics before i can say it is ready for paint but it all fits now.The brake bar has been extended and a new hanger bracket made for it, 10mm plate used to support the Hydroboost which is braced in several places, believe me there is no such thing as firewall flex now!The 944 MC fits the BMW hydroboost with a little material removed....Well outboard of the engine now....So engine bay fabrication now all done, i had to make a notch in the left chassis rail for the power steering pump, but once done i seam sealed the bay, gave it a fresh primer coat followed by 4 coats of Pepper white, so the bay is now ready to receive the V8 for the final time...Absolutely love this colour, very classic.Very time consuming engine rebuilding, all 32 valve stem oil seals replaced, that's a job i never want to repeat... heads torqued down, cams refitted and covers fitted.Moving on slowly but surely, i fitted the XSchop adapter and 1uz bellhousing today, modified the T56 release bearing pipes and bleed, made a new clutch line that will run from the 944 MC to the T56...Tomorrow i will bleed the clutch and pressure test the system before my engine goes in, last thing i want is a leak on the pipes as it means the engine has to come back out.My new aluminium radiator upgrade arrived today, so that got installed...Also ordered camber adjustable top mounts and a set of Brembos from a Cayman 3.4 , they should stop it pretty well.Spent today on more engine detailing and building, it's starting to become complete again....New nuts/bolts used wherever possible....Oil filter relocation adapter fitted....Cambelt fitted along with water pump and oil pump...Distributors/leads fitted...As it is now...Also built an awesome shot blasting cabinet from an old Pepsi fridge, this will see a lot of rusty 944 parts.Today saw the sump finished, i had to make a new pickup pipe and get that routed to the new pan location...The keener eyed will notice a flange just before the pickup, this was needed for assembly, it was not possible to make this as a one piece pickup.I made a dipstick boss, drilled the pan, worked out my max/min levels and welded it in...With the fabrication now finished everything was painted and assembled...Maybe 45-50 hours work in that sump, madness!Ok so new crankshaft oil seal fitted, Fidanza flywheel and clutch installed along with BMW spigot bearing (wow! I came across an ad for a Porsche 924 that was free! After reading this from the start until now it is great to see two great things come together in one great package ; the chassis of the 944 along with one of the all time greats, the Lexus V8. This keeps the weight balance and one of the unique features of the car. I think several people here have already followed your build progress elsewhere. The engine will pick up on this colour with as much polished alloy as i can manage to give it that retro classic theme....Car and engine... the goal is to complete the entire project by next May...We're pretty busy right now! I am sourcing my prices from actual listings on Craigslist, Ebay, and classified ads so they are within an acceptable range, and could possibly be reduced quite a bit. I swore I heard a rumor that the 944 transmission was basically an audi 016. anyone? The owner states the Porsche transaxle was rebuilt in 2014. The blog is interesting: I love my 951 and my s6. I recall that it is k24 turbo and is making just above 300 whp.
Porsche 944 V8 Conversion by admin 29/03/2014 | 5:38 0 Posted in Future (Dream) Projects I’m always browsing Craigslist for my next project, even though at the moment I don’t have any place to put it. How would I accomplish this? This amount is probably going to be used to upgrade the front brakes and the front springs). From the research that I have done, it seems that the turbo series car would be better but the NA one would work just the same, the difference being the gearing of the transmissions.

This is a Renegade Hybrids Porsche 944 with a Chevrolet LT-1 5.7L V8 engine swap (www.renegadehybrids.com). Love this swap idea. Under the hood sits a 5.7 L LS1 V8 from a Pontiac GTO.
Of course you can source a different V8 but will need to budget accordingly.
Hey all.
1969 Renegade Porsche 912 Coupe with SBC V8 Swap!!! The 944 bridged the price and performance gap between the 924 and the 911 SC.
1991 Porsche 944 S2 LS1 swap By Carter December 1, 2013 December 8, ... For many years, my planned successor to the GT track car was to swap the 4.2 V8 from an Audi into a Porsche 924S. https://groundcontrolstore.com/collections/944-complete-suspension-system/products/944-968-complete-front-struts-w-rear-c-o-shocks?variant=19539253395552. Low budget power adders I've followed are supercharging an NA with the eaton m90 blower (cost effective) blown944 on the rennlist forums is the pioneer in that category. Super Clean & Quick!, No Reserve. Really enjoyed reading your thread and envy your fabrication skills. This should be quite a monster when it is done and should possibly give a 951 (944 Turbo) a run for its money!
swap a reality, so it made sense to me to put a V8 in. Top .
Pre-assembled with camber plates and matching rear shocks. I’m about to find out!
