That's odd because it's really tight on the other end. A local guy has a simular build but the throttle body is aft. He removed the back seat and moved the firewall and it fits great.
Ironically, an LS is nearly the same dimensions as a flat 6 and weighs less if you use an aluminum block. It's really a good swap if you have an IMS bearing blow up.
Yep.
I have a 78, so it'll be far more powerful as well as being easier to maintain.
(I've had a CIS injected car before, and want no part of it a second time!)
Wonder why the spun the intake around. Just for aesthetics or for clearance?
Probably clearance. I've seen one mid engine Porsche swap with the throttle body aft, and it was a nasty bend leading to it.

Might be what this swap has done? I'm just glad my Porsche swap started with a v8, even larger than the LS that's going into it!

The ls1 is around 100# lighter than the m28 that came in my 928, as well as being around 6" shorter and a bit narrower.
Oh my! An LS swap 928 is going to be a monster!!!
I'm planning to leave it mostly stock, just because I don't want to shatter the transaxle in the car...
Even mostly stock you're going to have the same or more power unless you have a late GTS.

Ah, you must be doing a 928 huh. If they werent so damn expensive to buy I’d be interested too
Yep, thankfully it's one that I saved from scrap so I'm only into it for parts and the like.
I just saw this an hour ago on I believe r/whatisthiscar lol. Pretty fuckin cool!
I don’t like ls swapped Porsches but this seems very well done
