Hey,

Does anyone know of any companies that can undertake engine (and gear-box) conversions on Freelanders? I'm interested in getting a quote for some work doing on my car.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

when you say conversion do you mean going from a 1.8 to a td4 or modifying your existing engine?

what sort of conversion are you looking at?

Well, my landy is a 2.0TD4 HSE, but I was wanting to look into putting the Range Rover Sport 4.6 V8 Supercharged unit into it, so wanted to talk to an engine conversion specialist?

Any ideas?

its a 4.2 supercharged engine, cant see that fitting, partly due to the size of the engine but also due to the fact that it is an in line engine with the gear box going down the centre of the car, and as it would cost thousands of pounds to buy all the running gear you may as well just buy a sport

I would imagine even if you did shoe horn that into a Freelander you'd need to upgrade brakes and suspension too. Could the chasis handle that much power too?
I'm sure the KV6 2.5 litre will fit in
