911/964/993 V-8 Small Block Chevy Conversion
Basic kits from 3,295.00! Scroll down for details!
Renegade Hybrids began producing the Chevrolet V-8 engine conversion for the 911/912/930 series (herein referred to as "911") in 1983. Over the past several years, we have refined it into a very complete, reliable and powerful engine conversion. Because of the high cost of extracting power from 911 motors, not to mention extreme maintenance, we feel the Small Block Chevy V-8 is an outstanding performance upgrade at a reasonable price.
With Renegade Hybrids conversion kits, a competent do-it-yourself mechanic can transform a mild 911 into a 930 killer. You can buy the kit and all the necessary components for less than the cost of a 911 engine rebuild. Once installed, your Renegade V-8 will provide years of trouble free, hi-performance driving, with affordability, low maintenance, greater reliability, not to mention extreme horsepower (if you desire).

The conversion kit listed below was designed to work with the 60’s through 90’s Small Block Chevy (SBC) engines. For our all-aluminum LS V-8 conversion kits using the latest GM LS series engines, please refer to our 911 LS kit.
