BoxsterLS376 introduction - LS3 conversion :)

Hey,
Have you drilled new holes for the hand brake cables yet? I'm just wondering how renegade runs it to the handle.

Hey Vlad,

I have not and actually haven't bothered to ask Renegade how they did it~ Doesn't seem to complicated but just more stuff that needs to be done. I am actually getting pretty close to that now so hopefully I'll give you an update on that soon.


Greetings everyone else,

Sorry for the lack of updates - I've been a bit under the weather the past few weeks and progress pretty much came to a halt, but we are back to rocking and rolling again so I wanted to pick up where I left off with a quick video.

I was just about wrapped up with the cooling system last update so I wanted to point out a few things to be aware of regarding the new radiators and some rub points.
All the front end cooling system is back together now, 3 new CSF all aluminum radiators, new Heater core and all new cooling hoses front to back! Got the bumper and headlights back on yesterday and it is starting to look like a car again.

Posted a few pics below of the problem areas you need to look out for on the upgraded radiators~

I'm also about to start working on this project a bit more during the week so I truly hope to have this bad boy running within a month now!

On a side note it looks like I may have a customer interested in converting his 2000 911 C4 which sadly just appears to have popped a cylinder head, or it may be available to purchase for a conversion but either way I've talked to a few of you guys and will keep you posted if it becomes available!~

Short and sweet video update finished up the cooling system will be available shortly~

Oh yeah...

Sooo before I forget I have been trying to get some other things done including getting the accessories on like the alternator, starter etc...

Looks like I was wrong about the spacers for the transmission - not a big deal but so far I have found 2 definite problems with it. Just wish I hadn't wasted so much time with it now, but now I am back to clearance issues again as well so is a bigger pain in the rear for that reason.

So while the motor sits nice and level with the spacers so far I have found that the shifter counterbalance thingy hits the Renegade transmission cross mount if the rear of the tranny is sitting to low. I took about 1/4" of my spacing out and it now clears, but now the front crank bolt is hitting the damn e-brake mount again

The spacers are very likely the problem for why I was having problems getting the starter bolted up too although I haven't messed with it much I think that may sort itself out.

Sorry if I screwed any of you guys up
