freelander V8 i wish

Can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to take out my dead v6 and replace it with a v8:smokin:

No! - its been discussed before - not in a Hippoo bodyshell - the V6 is transverse and all the V8's are in-line.


But you CAN fit the Rover T220 Turbo lump with minor change (to the Gbox input shaft) that will give you a seriously quick motor - particularly if you go 2wd with the Torsen LSD available for the T220.

MMM sounds interesting

• Land Rover Discovery 4.4 V8 32V (295 HP)
• Land Rover Discovery 4.0 V8 (185 HP)
• Land Rover Discovery 3.9 V8 (5 dr) (182 HP)
• Land Rover Discovery 3.5 V8 (5 dr) (155 HP)
• Land Rover Discovery 3.5 V8 (5 dr) (166 HP)


Rover 220 Turbo Coupe 2.0 S4 (2 dr) (197 HP)

shd be fun

Wonder if the W8 engine out of my Passat would fit

Or drop the freelander bodyshell (100") onto a range rover classic chassis and use RR running gear!!

thats bin done a couple of times - but it tends to look as if its been stuck on top, coz the shell isnt designed to sit on a chassis. Looks kinda interesting tho...

freelander dropped onto a 3.9v8 rangie chassis and air suspension fitted all round.

Me likey!!!

That FL body on RR chassis is a brilliant combo.

i quite like the wun next to it wiv the ladder an roofrack..:scratching_chin:

As standard motor the V6 has more power to weight than all but the latest V8s....Have posted some details of tuning sites on here before or have a word with your local silly boy racers....you can easily get 200+

Anyone considered dropping a TDV6 in....
