- We are 1500 miles in on the 5.3 LM4 swapped Land Rover Discovery. So far it has been a pretty good swap, nothing major needed. We did however change up the Land Rover Temp Sensor and the intake, all for the better.

The kit utilizes many of the factory Land Rover accessories and we assemble all of that onto the GM V8.

It seems like a fairly complete kit compared to most I have seen for various other makes. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
As a LR fan in Japan, really enjoy the channel. 2 Disco 1s in my garage! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that, those Disco’s have to be kind of a rare bird there.
@@LostCauseRanch Yes and getting parts is normally only done by shipping from the US or UK. I would love to add a Defender to my drive way as well, but the mark up on them is even more insane.
Minor fix up typical of quality engine change over.
I run an Aussie made temp alarm called ‘engine guard’ that attaches externally on the engine.and gives a true indication of temp particularly if it dumps its coolant. It saved me once and is such cheap insurance. The LR D1 & D2 gauges are indicates rather than accurate. .
Just looked at the engine guard, that’s kind of a cool little setup.
True to their word, Land Rover is shit
Seems like ACE stop making kits. Any other recommendation. You guys should make another swap on a Disco2
It kind of seems that way. I wish I had the time to go into development on it. It may be a possibility someday.
Does ACE not sell the kit anymore?
Great video series! I am just finishing up an LC9 swap in my 2008 Defender 110 (in the Caribbean) and have had to figure a lot of it out myself. I would have loved a video series like this to use as a guide! I am now looking at buying a Discovery 2 in the U.S. to keep there and already looking to LS swap it before I even buy it. I will definitely be going back over these videos as I go through the process!
Any chance you’re fabricating and selling any of those aluminum air conduits? That looks really nice. Thanks!
I live in Des Moines and have always wanted to see disco II up close. Thanks for doing what you do
Bro I live in Altoona. What's up? 😂

I cant wait to start mine. Are you willing to sell or make another throttle body air intake?
So I live in Iowa and you can absolutely bet I will be hiring y'all to do this same job for me.
I had an 03 Disco when I was 18, it was my dream SUV then too but it was a little....rough....One of my coworkers at the time suggested LS swapping it but I definitely didn't have the money and there was more problems than just the engine. Engine blew and such and I've still wanted one ever since. I don't care about the cost, when I get the money, I'm hitting y'all up.
How is the LR auto trans holding up to that 5.3??
No issues yet, but you have to stay reasonable with it power wise as you can take out the LR auto with factory power.
Just finished the series. Was wondering why an electric fan wasn't utilized. Seems as though it would have obviated the intake clearance/interference issues.
Does the 3.4LV6 Toyota engine can be mounted easily on the Disco2?
What’s the size of the tirer ? And do you need trimming and a spacer?
315/75R16 Close to a 35. (34.5”).
On the stock D2 16” wheels it needs a spacer to clear the radius arms while turning. Then the front bumper and the plastic rocker covers on the side need a little trimming.
@@LostCauseRanch what spacer you have?
You boys still doing the LS swap on the Disco?
Do you know of anyone in Southern California who does the LS swap ?
I LIVE IN Altoona, IOWA!! 😂
Think I could visit your ranch, sometime?
When life is sorted a little bit I’m not opposed to that.
How much to LS swap my 06 L322?
Where do you source the adapter kit to run that GM power steering pump on the D1?
It was on there when I bought it. I can’t find a current link of anyone selling it. But here is the setup: nas-row.com/index.php?threads/gm-power-steering-pump-conversion.203/
@@LostCauseRanch awesome buddy. Thanks for the resource.
I’ve recently completed a LS swap on my Disco. I’ve got a new and random flashing M/S light. Did you experience this? Tried all the usual stuff ex checked ground and alternator voltage, and replaced CS position sensor, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!
Dang the O4 LM4 5.3 series was awesome actually kinda ran into Y'all by accident looking for a disco for my daughter and been doing the research kinda landed on ur channel but man Im glad I did now I want one for Myself lol my high school kid can wait jk hated seeing ur build go though awesome exhaust.
Can you swap the LS into my LR4?
Hey Awsome build that's Dope! What's all yalls thoughts on a Ls7 into a 2002 disco2 series se swap is it possible I got both laying around 🤔??? Thoughts please?
I just did the same ACE kit to fit a 6.0 LS into my 2003. The LS7 would work the same, except you would have to do some extra things with it being a car intake manifold. You could just cross that bridge when you get there, or swap the LS7 intake to a truck intake.
How much to do one?
That exhaust is way cool! Got me Ether Bunny shirt yesterday!
Yes it turned out alright. Glad he wanted us to do it. And thanks for the order again!
