Driftworks Rich Starkey does a walk around this close to complete Porsche Cayman LS3 V8 engine conversion and talks to Dyno Torque's genius Craig about all of the technical details.
We've had loads of requests for more Craig Taylor & the projects he takes on at Dyno Torque. Let us know if you'd like to see more of these Raw unedited walk arounds of the stuff he builds.

He's an old-school Brummie. Generally very modest, and often considered the friendliest people in the UK. That doesn't mean he doesn't think he's more than competent. He just believes, if he can do it, there are probably (rather than possibly) others doing it or capable of doing it, too. He seems to just want customers to give him the time to do the job properly and get everything right rather than push him time-wise and he's happy, even if he doesn't end up getting full compensation for all the hours he puts in. He clearly loves what he does and doing it right. But he's done so many conversions that he also clearly beieves that pretty much everything is possible and problems exist for solutions to be found. It is amazing.

This is amazing. I mean we have all seen LS swapped Miata's etc, but a mid-engine Porsche?! Definitely the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I would keep this car forever if I built this, I'm sure it would be a dream to drive especially since you kept the Porsche gearbox etc. We need to see a video of it cruising around! Edit: My father-in-law has an older 2007 Boxster S and the sound of the engine RIGHT behind you is pretty cool, this LS must sound incredible!

Always loved these type of conversions since seeing a Porsche 924 with a Rover V8 in Car and car conversions magazine 30+ years ago. The US company that does the kits is Renegade Hybrids and although they sell it as a kit that can be done a home, watching the video's of people converting theirs it is a LOT of work, proving i'm not up to it and with insufficient funds to pay someone to do it for me.. The conversion in this video by Dyno Torque looks as good as it gets. Fantastic engineering.

LSx conversions are GREAT! No one builds better trouble free and maintenance cheep engines then GM. I have a 89 944S2 with a LS3 and I can drive it anyware and not worry about not making it home. I also smoke allot of so called supercars in straight line and when it comes to curvy roads just forget it I'm gone. I've got a buddy that has 1st generation Lotus Turbo Espit with a LS conversion and it just marvellous car. LS is the way to go if you drive a car with unreliable engines.

So you used the ancillaries from a FWD LS4 engine, with LS3 internals/heads etc, that’s brilliant mate. For those who don’t know the LS4 is a 5.3 used in FWD... 2005-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP 2006-2009 Chevrolet Impala SS 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 2008-2009 Buick LaCrosse Super Had horrible heads and intake manifold but heads and intake from other LS platforms bolt right on. Uses a different bell housing though so won’t bolt up to other LS trannies.

Not to disagree, but this can’t be an LS3. He mentioned that it came from a front wheel drive setup, the only displacement used in that setup was 5.3L LS4, it had its own unique bellhousing bolt pattern which was borrowed from the car line platforms, and unique f.e.a.d. The LS3 was 6.2L displacement.

@steveandstaciepoythress4204
@steveandstaciepoythress4204 5 лет назад
It's an LS3, but he chose to dress the front of the motor with parts off the transverse LS4 (plumbing & pulleys) to make the entire engine 2-inches shorter. That combined with moving the firewall forward 2-inches allowed it all to fit without moving the transaxle.
