LSx into Porsche. . . and I'm going to need some help

[airtonics]

Actually the motor I just pulled from my C5 is a LS2 402ci stroker with trickflow heads etc... made 490-510whp depending on the dyno. I'm debating on parting out the engine or keeping it for an interesting swap like this. I just don't know how well the 996 trans and other drivetrain components would handle that kind of power without more research though. Plus the cost of the car that I don't own...

Even with 4k rpm limit and the torque available, I'm sure that car feels strong!

Just went through the thread and very cool build white out!

Damn, talk about 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag. :lol: Looks great! You need new soundclips now with the exhaust.

Any reason why you didn't just get a vette/g8 damper to go with pump?

Could you run a smaller pulley for the tensioner and let that allow enough clearance for the hose? I know GM has many different pulleys that use that same bolt hole dia.

On the belt subject, I see some accessory holes in between the 2 pulleys....Perhaps you can install "another" idler pulley wheel to direct the belt away from the hose. I've done this before and works great.
