I'm new here and this is my first post. It's also my first foray in attempting to find more info on 911 LS conversions so please excuse my ignorance as I come up to speed.

A long time ago I took a ride in a 500HP V8 powered 914 and never forgot it. I'm just over 60 now and still it comes to mind but just have been so busy I never went forward with anything.

I'm getting closer to retirement now want to find out more of what's going on in the area of LS conversions and then start down the road of acquiring one. I've been to the Renegade and CPE sites and elsewhere so I'm starting to get an idea.

What I have in mind (which may be uninformed as it's likely there's much I don't know that I don't know) is a earlier 911 --before 1990-- finished in a wide body format around 500HP.
In general, what forums are most focused on 911 conversions and is there any two or three websites where most of the info can be found about people who are currently doing the conversion?

And finally, as I'm still busy with work for probably a few more years, it's possible I may hire someone to do the conversion or purchase an existing converted car. It's the money vs. time thing.
Any suggestions for someone who has a track record for building these conversions? Is it either CPE or Renegade?

Thanks!
