Wow, that's an engineering feat (and one cramped engine bay).

Wonder if he bothered adding an air filter... the MAF is naked in that pic!

My question would be, "If you're gonna do it, why not do it so it looks good?"

I like the idea of installing an LS1 in a 911, but that looks like garbage. A twin turbo 6banger and dressed up engine bay would be more impressive to me.

It does have the potential to be purdy, I hope he is not finished yet.

I understand building a frankenstein car to add power the factory didn't supply and that I think is cool but from what I found on wikipedia (which never lies ) the 996 had something like 315hp and he put in an LS1 from a camaro that was rated at 300hp? I'm sure there has got to be something I'm missing, still a very achievement.

Some of these 996 N/A engines were rated at 355 and 400 hp. He could have put one of these.
