Build complete... with V8 (not for the purists)
 
Here is the build, a year after the CHP rear ended my car, we ended up putting a V8 in there and doing a lot of custom work to make the car perform at a very high level. 410 HP to the wheels, everything is solid now... enjoy the pics!

Beautiful car, Im in the process of doing the same to my 82SC. I also installed the LS and purchased the kit from Scott at RH. Would you be so kind to share where you purchased that rear bumper. Congratulations, the car it looks amazing. To all the purist, Porsche's are a piece of art and we all interrupt art in all different ways. Embrace the creativity. Enjoy your ride.

verticalflight 09-28-2017 08:12 AM

Ha thanks Nine11 the bumper is part of the RWB kit... agree about the creativity!

lin7310948 09-28-2017 12:05 PM

the car looks good and the mechanicals look excellent.

fanaudical 10-08-2017 05:38 PM

Wow. Nicely done (and I'm one of those "purists")!

Who makes those wheels?

verticalflight 10-08-2017 06:24 PM

Thanks...
Rotiform makes the wheels www.rotiform.com

beautiful build!!!

Lukesportsman 11-22-2017 04:22 PM

Very nice ride without regard to drive train. Though honestly anything short of a modern GT car would have real issues keeping up! Is this a "real" RWB? Is it the only Chevy powered RWB? If this is a tribute RWB, please PM me more details.......love the look of your car.

MrRPJ 11-22-2017 08:27 PM

How did you fit an LS with a factory waterpump without cutting the main chassis

verticalflight 11-26-2017 08:37 AM

Yes its a real RWB.

On the waterpump, it did take cutting the chassis. See pic...

nice car! I have a 75 930s zz4. It has a lemans front spoiler that I don't like. Where did you get your front air dam and what style is it ? Thanks Gene

verticalflight 01-03-2018 08:18 AM

Hi Gene, its from a kit known as RWB made in Japan, they don't sell the bumpers separately

Eric at Pelican Parts 01-04-2018 02:04 PM

Looking good, I dig it!

verticalflight 01-04-2018 03:09 PM

Thanks Eric! Here is the thread on the accident...

Eric at Pelican Parts 01-04-2018 04:17 PM

I ended up finding it not too much after I posted!

Any plans to bring the car to Rennsport or any other events at Laguna Seca this year? I'd love to check it out in person!

verticalflight 01-04-2018 09:51 PM

I'll try to bring it out to Rennsport this year. Otherwise happy to meet up around the Bay area anytime.

Luccia at Pelican Parts 01-07-2018 03:26 PM

Wicked cool. Thanks for sharing such detailed images. Sorry to hear about the accident, but looks like it's back better than ever. Maybe you can bring it down to one of our C&C's sometime.

just curious as to Why you didnt you run a renegade hybrid water set up. That way you wouldn't have to have cut up the chassis?

verticalflight 01-08-2018 07:47 PM

We found that the electric water pump couldn't keep up, so we ran a mechanical ones... needed to make room for it however

mooney265 01-16-2018 05:32 AM

Scary and Great Story - - thanks for sharing!

BTW: I like those gauges - - who did the gauge-work? Shannon

verticalflight 01-16-2018 05:49 AM

Thanks!
It was Seattle Speedo - Seattle Speedometer | Gauge Repair and Restoration

irie911 01-17-2018 07:12 AM

That has got to be one of the cleanest V8 conversions I have seen in a while. Love the aesthetic details.
Also in the Bay area, would love to see this beast up close.
Please let us know when you show it locally.

verticalflight 01-17-2018 07:17 AM
