The Porsche 944 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1982 to 1991. A front-engine, rear-wheel drive mid-level model based on the 924 platform, the 944 was available in coupé or cabriolet body styles, with either naturally aspirated or turbocharged engines.

The LS based small-block engine is the primary V-8 used in General Motors’ line of rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks. Introduced in January 1995, it is a “clean sheet” design with only rod bearings, lifters, and bore spacing in common with the longstanding Chevrolet small block V8 that preceded it as the basis for GM small-block V8s. The basic LS variations use cast iron blocks, while performance editions are all aluminum with cast iron cylinder liners. The LS small-block has been manufactured in three Generations – III, IV, and V – with preceding Generations I and II of modular GM small-block engines having been based on the Chevrolet small-block V8 originally designed in 1955. GM recycled the “LT” designation beginning with the LS Generation V “LT1” in 2014.

One long year later, SHE IS ALIVE AGAIN!!! Too bad our remote oil filter blew the o-rings out of the AN fittings and sprayed oil onto the floor… Stay tuned for more videos!

Today we ran several pressure tests to check all the AN lines and fittings. We pressurized the oil system several times, pressurized the fuel system, pumped water through the radiator lines, and also worked on an issue with the oil pressure safety switch not allowing the fuel pump to run. Stay tuned for more videos coming soon!

Watch our 115x timelapse as we unload the new engine, prepare it for installation, drag it over and install it in the car, struggle to fit the driver header, and finally install the water pump, alternator and belt tensioner. Stay tuned, because we’ll be posting videos almost every night until she is back on the road!
