928 LS Series V-8 Conversion
Basic kits from 2,795.00! Scroll down for details!
Since the late 70’s when the 928 was introduced, many have called it the “German Corvette.” In almost every way, it outperformed Corvettes for 20 years since its inception. Unfortunately, the power under the hood was one thing that did not live up to the nickname. So why not install a Chevy V-8 and give it the boost in power and reliability it’s been begging for?
I can tell you with confidence, the all-aluminum LS V-8 engine installation using the Renegade Hybrids conversion kit, is actually quite easy…and the results are fantastic. Plus, it's much lighter and smaller than the stock 928 engine which improves the handling, and it makes maintenance a breeze. With the extra-added room in the engine bay of the 928, several LS-series motors and their accessory packages will fit, including the Corvette LS-7. Even carbureted versions of the LS based motors are an option if cost and simplicity are paramount.
On the subject of engines, any new or used LS series GM V-8 will do wonderfully. Some minor modifications may be necessary, but you are welcome to call us for more specifics. If you are looking for our highest recommendation for a donor engine, we use new GM Performance Crate Engines. It’s very hard to beat their reliability, solid warranty, variety, and especially the price! We can help source one of these engines for you when purchasing our Renegade Hybrids 928 conversion kit.
