PORSCHE 911 w/ 525hp LS3 engine
I am selling my Porsche 911, with a brand new LS3 525hp crate engine, 6.2L. The car is a 1999 with 50k miles on the body. I've had it for about 8 years. A couple of years ago the engine blew up and instead of looking for a used 3.2L Porsche engine with 290hp that cost $30k to install, I decided to try something different, more powerful, about the same weight, and BRAND NEW with warranty. So I checked out Renegade's LS swap kit, and opted for the much more powerful LS3 crate race engine. The build took over a year to do by SportsCarShop.

Further adjustments and fixes done by IAP Racing including making the RPM work. The only that doesn't work now is the AC.
Here are more pics from the build.
The cost of the engine, conversion kit, parts, etc. is probably a little more than $40k. The car itself looks awesome, the interior is excellent too. You can see Porsche Tequipment rollbar, as well as the seats with the backing.
I thought I'd drive it more once it was done this year but in all I probably drove it less than 300 miles. I also have another car, a 2014 Lamborghini that I barely drove, 5k miles in 3 years.
To be honest I've lost interest in the car and want to clean out my garage. I guess project cars are really not for me. I think I prefer production cars, fully refined exotics. The car drives well, obviously fast, handles and brakes well. The improvement I'd do is a better exhaust system and better brakes for full track duty. But it's a monster for normal street driving.
I'm not interested in haggling too much, but I can certainly answer questions for serious buyers only.
Asking $45k for it and I think it's a killer deal. It has the classy looks and noone really knows unless they hear that rumble they know it's not a normal 911. It does sound mean!
It also comes with 2 sets of wheels, 1 with track duty Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, and the current is a GT2 style special order wheels (I forget the name) that is pretty pricey, with NEW tires! I'll have to check the brand and update this page later.
I'll update this page as I get more commonly asked questions or if time permits. I'll also try to do a video walkthrough. Here's what I have so far:
Another delay folks. Those expecting to see the #Porsche 911 #LS3 this Sunday at Cars & Coffee - Leesburg, VA will have to wait another week. The surging likely is from the need of a bigger intake, so that's being fabricated right now. See the rest of you at #DCExotics tomorrow tho! A video posted by KJ (@karljayg) on
