muddy4x4xfar Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi all has anyone ever fitted an ls3 v8 to a land rover before. if so what chassis mounts did you use and where can you buy them, many thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yes, and we made them using the welding stig. I'm a little concerned you may be getting in deeper than you expect if you have to ask this, very few engine conversions are simple nuts & bolts exercises and something like an LS swap needs to be done right as you're putting a quart into a pint pot.

Bowie69 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I would be looking at making my own. And as above with Fridge, this is no bolt-in conversion, there is major, major fabrication work involved, your question seems a little naive. Trust me I am NOT trying to be rude, and nor is fridge, more trying to save you thousands on an 'unfinished project' ebay listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Truer words were never spoken.. If you want a simple bolt-in conversion stick to an RV8. They are better than a lot of folk realise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Make your own, the 2 that are offered by UK firms are rubbish! I had the pleasure of buying half of one of these kits and had to re drill the holes anyway. Just make your own. Mine are 4 holes in a plate and two bits of flat bar welded to a sleeve that holds a LR trailing arm bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy4x4xfar Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 hi all , yes i under stand this isnt a simple bolt in sequence, i probably didnt say it properly i ment like you can go buy the v8 mounts to weld onto a land rover chassis is there a place that makes these kinds of things or is it a case of making them myself. making them myself sounds like the best route from what you guys are saying. but trust me when i planned this project i new it wasn't going to be a simple bolt on bolt off process. that would be too easy thanks for everyone's help though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
