Guy found out why Lucky wouldn’t go in a car with Tony 😂

Tony scaring people in their own cars is a true talent

The content has quadrupled since the split with Hagerty, and I'm not upset about it at all! This is the trajectory that was always hoping for when you first arrived and I've "Stayed Tuned" since.

I've literally got a 5.3 L33 and a 99 carrera sitting in my garage, to say this popped up at the most PERFECT time would be an understatement. I can't wait for the next episode!!

the car should be called "The 69-11"

Thank you for the variety of cars yall do ... from the Buick to this, there is a car for everyone on this channel

Great project. I love the concept of tossing the flat six for a junkyard LS and ending up with more performance for a fraction of the cost. You can drive it hard without worrying if you're going to need another mortgage if it breaks. Looking forward to the next installment.

So awesome. Like with your Lincoln build, please show us all the ups and downs. I loved how authentic it felt, whereas so often viewers only get to see the upside in builds. With that said, I hope it goes super smoothly with minimal busted knuckles.

Porsche guys are clutching their pearls....omg I fell just off my couch.😮😂😂😂😂 Funniest car joke ever

There’s a life lesson every video Tony, thank you for that haha

Loved the white board lesson!!!!

Needs 180 deg headers. Super easy to fit considering how the motor mounts in the car and you'll have a bad ass sound

This in a Cayman is supposed to be insanely ridiculous. The content is stupid good

#1- Don’t use the tiptronic transmission. The shift quality is garbage and the shifts are very slow. #2- Make your own mount. It’s easy. Run from the stock mounts to the heads. Use the factory bushings. #3- Pull the factory water pump (from the LS) and run an electric meziere pump. #4- Use corvette accessories, they’re the lowest profile. #5- It’s easiest to flip the intake around and run the intake as a wide tight bend by the firewall. #6- It will help to add a third center radiator and a rear mounted oil cooler in the decklid. #7- That 5.3 better be aluminum. You can pick up gen 4 aluminum engines for the same price as the iron blocks. 80-100 additional lbs is a lot when it’s hanging behind the rear axle. Awesome project!

I don’t even like Porsche’s but this looks like one I’d be into. Great content.

Your white board comparison of the LS and GT3 engines had me laughing Tony!

The whole episode is like Tony never sobered up from those few cold ones :) I'm loving it!

Tylers kit looks really well made, I can't believe the motor fits like that, with such a small bellhousing adapter, stock motor mounts used, like wow! that poor mans head was just whipping back and forth as Tony just hits it without any warning while hes talking "So you know the stock..WHIP...uhhhh, motor mounts...SLAM"

I remember watching a KZfaq video of some guy doing this swap about 8 years ago give or take a few years, I thought it was awesome. Before I saw that video I never thought would be enough room to pull it off. This is going to be awesome, this channel never disappoints!

I can only imagine how that car feels with that setup.. thanks for the video tony.. keep them coming man.

Hey Tony, whiteboard segments IMO offer a great spot for humor every now and then (so yes to the whiteboard in this one!), maybe even toss in a ridiculous tool serving as a pointer!

Tony - I am not a Porsche guy Porsche Carrera - Good to see you again Tony

Porsche 911 are works of art. Owned 2 …. A 71 911 E and a 77 911 S. Most fun cars I ever owned. You can make them your daily drives as long as you perform the maintenance.

I love this so much (former GT3 owner and current V8-swapped NA Miata owner). If that LS 997 ever goes up for sale, I will be at the front of the line!

A 5.7 or 6.0 aluminum block, with a gen 4, 4.8 rotating assembly would absolutely rock in this car. The long rods and short stroke would closely mimic the power delivery of the Porsche flat 6, with more torque and it would rev to the moon and back...

Not all Porsche owners are dweebs. My 997 C2S is straight piped, 6 speed manny, and driven by a redneck-psychopath. Love the channel, stoked on the build!

NO JOKE .dont buy online when youve had a couple of cold ones,i just bought my own damm car online from my youngest son who put it up for sale ,i said damm i used to own a car like that ,next minute

I had no idea you could fit an LS in one of those. Dang.

Was going to ask about the s10 but I need not worry! Super stoked for you Tony, looking forward to the next few episodes!

Chicago style hot dawgs, chefs kiss!

Sooooo so sooo sick! Another bananas (and genius) idea from the mind of TA from PA! Great as always sir, I've rewatched the sh!t out of Hot Rod Garage so many times. My favorites from that show were always the Fury Wagon, the Shark Attack, and it's a toss up between the Coyote Mustang/Musyote/Coystang/Turducken and the Crown Hick. I really wanted the Malibu getaway car too, cause that thing would be a blast to jump. Get some Falken Wildpeak tires on it and bags to adjust lift and it could be a sleeper Baja rig. Great work and entertaining as always Tony! Much love from the PNW!

Love stay tuned anyway, but as a 1998 996 C2 owner this is going to be even more interesting to watch.

The whiteboard monologue was great. Love the late night talk show feel of it. Keep with the comedy, it’s fun and unique.

So pumped for both of these LS builds! I’ll admit, I was on the fence with the Porsche until I saw how psyched Tony was after driving this one. The LS-10 is a fucking no-brainer though!

Woo Hoo! love the LS, looking forward to this build, NEVER gets old. I have seen several other Porsche "swapped" like this, and all you ever see when they drive them is huge smiles and laughing uncontrollably.

Straight made that dude nervous as hell. Lol, you guys make awesome content with a great variety, keep up the great work!

Thank goodness Tony went back to his own channel !! This fella is a building one heck of a legacy!! Cannot wait to see him rip his own v8 German tomato can !!!

Great video! And what a revelation idea!!! I have a 1999-996 convertible same one as your first one and it drives amazing with only 67k miles. All I kept hearing about is IMS explosions and bore scoring! Which would cost 15 to 20 thousand dollars to fix, if something happened. This idea of swapping a new engine for a fraction of the money and with more power! PRICELESS. Looking forward to seeing it done.

I love everything about this. And if you're going to make an LS swap interesting - this is the car to do! Keep up the great work Tony & Crew - we're enjoying every minute of the content here. I feel like I'm watching old episodes of HR Garage with a bit more spice and it's perfect. I laugh audibly at least once per episode, and always want pizza afterward, for some reason 🤔

Someone needs to meme the Head-snaps @17:48 under heavy acceleration into an SNL Roxbury Guys Gif

I didn't think the sound would match the car, but man it sure as heck does. Super bad ass.

I've been a Porschephile for 50+ years. Owned several air cooled Porsches. Then I bought a '99 996 Gen 1 w/ 6 speed tranny.. 50K miles w/ engine out refurbish i.e. LN Ceramic IMS etal.. I live in the south and this thing has COLD A/C !!! Big Plus !! It gets HOT here. Also, it drives and handles superbly in the N. GA mountain curves ! I LOVE my 996.. BTW, it is a Cabriolet. Great for the mountain driving and beach side driving. You can see everything.. Also, the headlights came from the GT 1 racecars design..

I love how many builds are coming to this channel. You're an absolute legend, keep it up

Glad you didn't forget about the S-10.

Last time I got in a car with a semi-pro drifter my eyes got just as wide. I can’t imagine what Tony did off camera on that closed course…

Also, that LS swapped 997 REALLY makes me want to LS3 swap my 2013 BMW 128i. It wouldn't exactly be a poor man's Porsche, but it would be CRAZY fun. I've seen a 128i with a BMW 4.4L V8 with a Roots style supercharger, and it was crazy fun too.

Also. Blues Brothers is by far the greatest movie ever made. “Hit it”

Company in Vegas does the LS swap in Porsche. I forgot who had it done was a 911 650hp. Car is sick crazy.

So looking forward to this. Manual conversion?

"Porsche owners clutching their pearls" Haha I have to remember that one. Can't help but think of Apollo 911, bet I'm not the only one. Are you leaving the slush box in there ?

Had to hit the like button just for that slow mo no sound clutch dumping all wheel tire spinning jaw drop moment. Thank you for that 😊

Best Tony persona video yet - man is on fire here 💪🏼

"tread lightly" dude is screaming at the top of his lungs right about now ! hahaha ! I think he put the GPS tracker in the Mercedes too........

The guys look on his face when Tony gets into it is one of the best ever.

Best line of the whole show. "We've all become friends since then"

Would be nice to see a twin screw supercharger on it. 800 hp, E85, lots of fun.

I’m somewhat of a purist but if the M96 engine is toast…..then why not haha. They are way too expensive to rebuild. Subscribed 👍

I like those Pouches and I have worked on and drove a couple different models from the 60’s to the early 2000’s and they were all fun and will get one one day

Looks like a pretty sick base to build something wicked! Can't wait to see what's in store! PS: Any chance you can throw some measurements for the shirts up on your site? I want to grab a firebird shirt but I'm not sure what size to get

I like the egg headlights best. It’s just the era we grew up in. Any Porsche is nice looking though. I definitely would like to ls swap a boxster or cayman one of these days. The 914 ls swaps are sick too. Renegade makes great parts.

Been subscribed and can’t like it enough, when the passenger held his hand up for you to slow down 😂

Glad you were able to get some sah-sage while you were in my town. This is gonna be a killer project.

ive wanted to do this swap for years!! that dude said sure Tony take the cars for a rip........ I was like uh oh! and you can see it in his face he was regretting that decision!! 😂😂😂 Tony was like slow down for what!?!?!?!?!

Tony have you ever heard Kevin (KSR) Smith’s LS powered Lexus burnout car? It has an 8 into 1 header which has a totally unique and incredible sound. If there was a way to fit that header set up into the Porsche it would be so awesome and would really have people scratching their heads wondering what is powering the car!

I love the LS platform and I love Porsches, but this is begging for a Honda K swap. Wouldn't break a sweat at that power level, and wouldn't throw off the weight and center of gravity as much.

Can’t wait to see these! I got a gutless 305 in my 87 MC LS and I need a swap badly! Just a simple 5.3

Super project. Can't wait to see it build.

We can't wait for you to have a V8 911 either Tony.

Sweet project man! That dude looked terrified with you behind the wheel, nice rip!

Dude the montage about deciding LS or GT3 swap was fu***ng awesome bro. Laughed my ass. Great project keep rocking bud🤘

it tickles my pickle to see the german car being fixed with an good old american V8! lol

Looking forward to anything LS.

That's sweet ..tony been watching you since motor trend lol..from episode 1..fineagine too watch drag week also...😂🎉🎉

I love how The guy was trying hold back the fear. But he wasn’t ready for tony 😂😂

Vgg hat, Finns shirt and a shout out to the sausage king. Classy guy right here. Respectfully, this is like haven a bro with a KZfaq channel.

"Because I'm a child." 😂😂

Excited for this build!!

Can’t wait to see the next episode and hear that beast rip!!!💪

Oh hell yeah, I love it! And you found the dude who has EVERYTHING ready to go for the swap!

Just ordered my stay tuned shirt, i will 100% wear it on stage at my next gig and get a killer live shot. Love this channel. Lets go!

Just watched this guy for the first time, hit the subscribe. Instant fan!

didn't expect you of all people to pick up a 911 but I'm here for it

Optimizing the car build for freedom points is key

Keep it up your personality and a narrative are going to win

I think swapping a six banger subaru motor in it with twin turbos would be such a Frankenstein build

"If I don't get your Porsche up to 200 miles per hour I'm gonna LOSE THE SHOP!"

Very cool! Not the first thought that came to mind. I think one of those with a turbo K series would be pretty wild, but I know I will enjoy this project.

Been watching you for years, since the OG HRG days. I was worried when you left and then to see the stuff on Hagerty, I watched out of loyalty. Glad to see you found your footing again and you're back doing what you love. That poor guy really regretted letting you drive for a moment there was enjoyable to watch.

I have 2 996's : 1 1998 C2 & 1 2004 C4S convertible, theyre both great !

As for the S10 Turbo AWD project, go look at what Fasterproms tried to do with theirs and learn from their mistakes. They tried to do literally exactly what you are trying to do and created a Transmission destroying machine. It never really performed at all and just broke parts.

I wasn't sold on your channel early on (sorry buddy), but damn brother!!!! You got it dialed, like the TA we knew and loved, now back with a vengeance. Keep on rippin!

Thanks Tony for this series. Combining 2 of the best !!

there is a super cool head-light cover for 996..2 actually..one makes it look standard 911 and the other looks like the new Alpine A110 double round headlights..look it up..!!

Full throttle make the tough guy go to whoa..... well done Tony.

Angelo missed you , you were a staple for my sunday morning

T angelo 996. Best car channel on you tube. Living the dream.

Super Rad, I am completely here for this project! That swapped car sounded so awesome, now I have to lurk on ebay motors.

I love LS swapped Porsches. Once the original motor has bitten it, it’s a no brainer, unless it’s a special model, imo.

we've all been there. That's how I bought a Mazda Cosmo (13b, not 20b oops) from a dude in Chicago and had to drive it back to Washington lol

Modify the oil pick up tube to the front of the engine. Like an H code trailblazer ss. The oil will go to the back and not starve the engine.
