I’ll go by the order things happen..

I ordered everything I needed for the swap from renegade (minus the trans mount at the time) the kit included: Engine cradle, adapter plate, billet flywheel/pressure plate, spec clutch, aluminum fuel cell, radiator and shrouding, water pump, and aluminum water block for the front of the engine.

Running the 996 trans wjth the renegade kit required me to cut my torsion tube. I was extremely nervous to do this. It took me way longer than in should have to finally bring myself to do it. But I finally tore into it. I braced the tube and started cutting away. It wasn’t until recently I got the correct trans mount. But renegade now makes a 996 mount so for early models so it worked out. Of course cutting the tube required to do away with the torsion bars. So I went with Elephant Racing coilovers for the rear. Along the way I’ve noticed a few funky things. For example this car came with steel trailing arms.. It now has aluminum 74 arms. So the geometry was a tad different for the springs. But not anything I’m not able to fix. (The bare block was just a mock up I was able to get)

After a few weeks of cutting and perfecting the spacing the way I needed I now have the engine and trans in there. I bet I lowered the car and raised it back up 150 times.. luckily I have a 2 post lift so that saved me a lot!
