That thing is absolutely insane and handles amazingly!
I am now an LS V8 914 swap believer. What an awesome car!
Awesome! Enjoy the ride!!!
Dream car right there !! There's a outfit in Colorado that LS'S Miatas !! I want both now damn it !!
@@darkone9572 , that would be Flyin’ Miata. And they’re not doing turnkey V8 Miatas any longer. I think the insurance nerds finally shut them down.
They still sell the bits-and-bobs, as does V-8 Roadsters, but you either have to turn wrenches yourself, or hire a shop.😢
Hallelujah, believers! Nioce. Always loved 914's with widebody
Isn’t it tough to find a decent 914 these days
Amazed at your ability to definitely describe the modifications Scott….Enjoyed…Thanks
I had 3x 914s with 2 liter engines, two were 914-6 Bj 72 with consecutive chassis numbers! One was a narrow design, the other had the original factory widening with 7/8 inch tires. I should never have sold...
I here ya, I had a 914-6, 2.2S, vented rear brakes, side shifter... should have kept it... going to build one like the video now, only rally config.
I always loved the 914. A go-cart with a roof is what I call it.
I recently saw this car at Wings N Wheels in Upland Ca. By far this is best looking 914 I've seen to date and this V8 conversion is to die for. Keep up the great work Team Renegade...
As a kid in the 80’s I used to be mesmerized by the Renegade ads in kit car magazines. So cool that you’re still doing it! For me Renegade is part of the 914 story; you’ve been around so long that the purists can’t cry sacrilege any more!
It's funny how correct you are. With rare exception, we don't get death threats from the purists more than once a day now!!! Lol
Ya gotta know that if the "Purists" or anyone else with their nose in the air, is inclined to get bent out of shape over a "Non-Original Equipped" car (Porsche or not) then they're probably not worth the time... logic has no place in that conversation. I've looked at many 914s in the past but the condition of those cars was pretty poor. This is spectacular!! Now I just need to find a "reason" to need another car.... mmm. Do you guys do turn-key conversions?
@@MrGaryGG48 Certainly! This is one of them!
What a great car ! Reminds me a lot of my old `66 Corvair V8 mid-engine conversion that I built 40 years ago. Same power-to-weight ratio, it was a sleeper that would absolutely destroy just about every muscle car that came up against it. Big fun !
We are of the same Generation ! Everything sounds so familiar !! I just love The later model Corvairs !!
Having driven the 914 with the 4 cylinder engine back in the day I can see how that would be so much more fun!
So unique! Nobody has EVER swapped an LS into anything! You are just so great and innovative
@@samuelcooke2678 Can't handle the truth huh? Have to bash the messenger. LS swaps are great..for a corvette.
I used to drive a Renegade 4.3 Chevy v6 914 to high school in 1998, here in Las Vegas. It hauled so much ass with that little power. I remember thinking how crazy a Chevy 350 swap would have been. An LS is just insanity!!! Awesome job!!
You've created a masterbeast. My favorite cars were a 1970 914 and a 2009 Pontiac G8GT. You've kinda blended them into something really spectacular. Grrrreat.
1970 914 6? I drove one once. It was quick.
I thought the k20 swaps were insane. This is a different level of insanity. Well Done 🎉
Things like this make me realize life is too short. I turbocharged a Datsun 510 in 1980, then cartwheeled it, and never got back into customizing. The work you do is so legit. Bravo.
I built one of these around 1986. I installed a LT1 Corvette engine. Kit was well manufactured. Everything else was stock 914-4. It was quite a super sleeper.
Thank you Jesus, for making me a man who appreciates fine art like this!!!
One of my cars that came in an estate purchase with five other cars was a 1986 Jaguar XJ6 with a V-8 conversion. The car is beautiful, black with biscuit (light tan) leather but the engine was from an 81 Z-28. It also wasn't the neatest job, ran okay but a messy job under the hood. I have other cars so it wasn't getting driven much so l had an LS crate motor installed and changed it over to a Tremec 6-speed. Now it's right! It shocks lots of performance cars at red lights. I like my stuff original but if l'm doing a V-8 swap you can't beat the LS
Finally! I’m a little late to the party, but it’s great to see an LS swap in something other than a 911, RX-7 or Miata. Awesome job and awesome car 👍🏻
Wow! Amazing, so well crafted, and the attention to detail is impeccable. I had a 914 and now I want another - engineering at it's finest. Great work!
I love your awesome engineering,Scott!👍
I did a wide body tessterossa V8 conversion on my 914 back in '89
Seen gobs of swaps on the 914, that looks the best though out and clean design of any yet
So glad we got to see some rips in this car...... Love it!
Never was a fan of the 914, but this one with these sexy wheels and the badass sound is definitely 🔥👌
I never imagined it would come out as awesome as it did. Amazing car.
The end of the video was well worth the wait!!
Always loved these cars, since I was kid, but WOW, this video is phenomenal! I'm thinking I may need to pay you guys a visit... Thanks Scott!
This is the best 914 I’ve ever seen. Well done! I’ll be a customer soon.
Wile-E-Coyote's dream come true. Eat your heart out Acme. Loved the 14' since I was a kid in the 70s.
Logical and beastly conversion, looks and sounds amazing.
I have no word to describe this build. It is already elevated to state of the art form for this car. Congratulations to Team RenegadeHybrid pure Genius!😊
Wow! Just wow! Thank you!!!!
Just watched the 944 project the Team created! Now finally U made me a believer about front engine Porsches🤩
Oh yaa!! Thanks for the rippin' at the end there. Didn't disappoint.
Totally gorgeous. Great work! ❤
I love your stuff! I was looking for one ten years ago, bought a '64 MGB with a SBC in it, now a custom chassis/suspension/ 4 wheel discs car. Someday if financially possible I'll own a Renegade 914. My MGB is big fun (400hp/4-speed) in an old school kind of way, I've ridden in a SBC 914 Renegade (awesome), thinkin' an LS conversion is just better. Keep up the good work
If I had it to give (Buy) I would be your number one customer, but at 75, too late. My first Porsche was a 2.0 74 914. I have followed and watched all of your vids. I am still very driver active with my C5, yet my dreams are just what you did with this one, even the carb older 350 were great. I remember a Red one you did a vid on quite some, time ago and it was the WOW factor of the time. Retired of course, but not mentally or physically, for sure.
Why not a project with a family member like a grandson or granddaughter?
Awesome job, love your enthusiasm.
WOW! Great video guys!
Makes me want to build a 914 to go along with my LS powered 944!
Wow! I can't believe you're still putting V8s into 914s! I built one in the late '80s, using some of your parts and some of my own design, but it was nothing like what you've developed these conversions into over the ensuing years. I used to carry an entire toolbox everywhere I went...
I'm very impressed.
Thank you...and yes, we've come a very long way!
Man, what a slick swap!
My brother put a jet engine in his Mustang last spring, and the chicks really dig him.
Probably because it's more reliable so they can get home from the date with your bro, right? Lol!
@@RenegadeHybrids Blonde ones, with big mamory glands on them!
I think I have a new favorite car. And I love the goofy hats
That's a first...the hats, that is!!
@@RenegadeHybrids I have a varied assortment of crazy hats myself. My wife says I have too many, I tell to stop with her negativity 😂
She says the same about my BMX bikes as well
Wow. Very nice work.
YES! What a beauty! Great work!
I had a friend who put a built 327 Chevy, in a 914, and took me for a ride.....we went around a 90 degree turn, at about thirty, and he nailed it, and in 600 feet we were doing 100MPH!
What an awesome fun car... Phenomenal job !!!!!
A friend purchased a 350 Chevy conversion from a Las Vegas shop almost 20 years ago. Maybe it was your shop. Anyway...one of the most fun, fast and exciting rides I've ever taken!
We've been in Vegas for 22 years!
That is an excellent build nice job👍
love the paint scheme with the blue porsche stripe. thanks Scott. going to call you and figure time to visit
When I was young, there was a kid in high school that had a new 914. Boy did we laugh at him. VW motor. Get out of here. Now almost 50 years later, that 914 is damn cool. Big motor. Little car. Perfect combo. Very well done.
I was that kid! Lol
I remember when I was a kid a neighbor of a friend of mine had even wider flares with Centerline wheels and it handles like a slot car. However, the LS wasn't even created then and for sure most if not all the other components weren't either. Miles apart from what I thought was badass back then at 13, lol.
That is a beautiful 914! I’m a bit jealous 😍
Cool car and I like this guy's passion. 👍
That looks super fast!!!
I lost count on how many so beautiful piece
Very nice work!
That's a beautiful build
I need to go buy a lottery ticket.....that thing is awesome
I'm very impressed, Scott. Hope to be talking to you soon I think your in TX .
Ah, how times change. "Shifts like a Honda!" As a compliment! :D :D :D
GREAT VIDEO!
Stunning!
Wow that's a great build,,, I'd love to go threw the gears in that with the LS,,, That's going to fly and handle like jelly,,,
I love this so much!
914 - There is no substitute.
Well Done. Thank you for this.
Sweet! I'm envious!
That’s a great combination!!
just about crazy enuf...
so very clean...
Love 914’s
Your work is so clean, wow. Wish I had $ to do this, I can dream :)
My neighbor had a 914 way back in the day, first time i ever saw one and have always loved them since. This has the good looks with loads of power, i would love to own this.
Best ad ever.
Now I want one!
Wou was für ein traumhaftes Ergebnis. Ich ziehe meinen Hut.
Wirklich ein wunderschönes Auto ❤
Really cool car!
THIS is a COST EFFECTIVE COYOTE "STANG" Killer!
A Land Shark!
Beautiful 🤩
I bought a new 1974 914 1.8 back then and drove it 5 years. It had 73 horsepower. I can only imagine how this runs.
like a wet bar of soap in a bathtub if the pavement is even damp....
Me too, 74 914 1.8 silver - but it was 76 BHP, and that was back in '78.
I recently had a Miata for a short time but just didn't float my boat.
- looks like I might have to tap into my savings and talk to these guys, I'd like to have one just like that.
Impressive!
wowwwie! That is awesome!
Love it!
Ahh man i miss the 2 914's i owned. You just sparked something in me !! Cool Video.
by the way I think your shop is beautiful. hoping to come out soon.
I want to build one of these so bad.
Wow I need to call you Scott. I have owned 17 Porsches & 9 Corvettes. Love the concept of driving a mid-engine Porsche with an LS V-8 stuck in it. Light weight cars with 500 hp is the best. I used to race a 1993 RS America 911; it was super-charged to 500hp and weighed 2472 pounds. 17” wheels with 911 S breaks all around was just fabulous on the street and fantastic on the track with micky Thompson slicks. My daily drivers are a 2019 991.2 911 Turbo S and a 2013 60th anniversary Corvette 427. Both cars are amazing. Just ordered the new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse. When I call who should I ask to speak to, you Scott?
Thanks great video and your shop is great. I have seen a few videos now. Cheers!!!🇺🇸
Call me!
I'm glad you proved the ding dongs wrong who said the Boxster trans wouldn't work. I'd love a ride.
This thing is beautiful. And the joy in your voice and face at the end is perfect. Curious if you've done one with a Boxster S engine? That's been my dream for a while now.
We have not. There is so little interest because of the dreaded reliability of the Boxster water cooled engines through 2008ish. Plus, there has been virtually no interest after seeing how cool the LS conversions turn out. Thanks for asking!
Gotcha, thanks for the quick reply. And keep up the incredible work
@kellyboyle295 You got it!!! And thank YOU for your continued interest in Renegade!
My s13 240sx is perfect with ls2 t56 I can not imagine that tiny mid mount Porsche with any lsx. I definitely have a lot of interest in lsx Porsche. Probably be cayman if I was to choose.
Holy moly
that is awesome
that'll do nicely mate.
Scary little Beasty.
Porch Wagon 914 flat 6 has an excellent sound
Sure...when it runs!
Beautiful 914s! I wish Porsche would bring back the 914 as a simple, single motor RWD EV (914e anyone?), but I guess with the electric Cayman that’s not likely to happen.
This kind of lightweight package seems to be what one of those 8500rpm destroked LS7s would be *perfect* for.
We'd dig that!
I think I'd likely just loose the trunk at that point and build a true set of 180 headers. We've done that before and it sounded just like a really angry 4.0L Porsche twin plug engine!
Hi Scott, what an absolute rocket ship. The Subie conversions pale in comparison. I can see how one might end up in the brig driving one of these. Now I'm in a quandary. Do I stick with gasoline or change to electrons. What a great dilemma to be faced with. Thanks for the terrific video tour...davey B.
VERY NICE
My grandpa an old school hot rodder built on like this for a friend of his I think it was louder but took off the same
Forget the AC Cobra. I want one of these.
Hitting the 914th like ;-)
Dang, I’m a mid engine freak. If I win power ball tomorrow I’d buy one of these.
Do it again do it again 😊
