Today we get our Defender 90 powerplant installed. We fabricate some engine and transmission mounts to get that healthy GM Performance crate LS3/6L80e combo sitting in there. Big moment in the build and we now start to see things coming together.
Make sure to subscribe to keep up to date on this Defender build, we try to have updates posted every week on it.

Well I don’t think it will ever rot mate! I’ve always said it’s such a shame Land Rover never galvanised chassis and body structures!

Yes, definitely the downfall of some of the rovers. There is quite a few around this area that meet their demise because of that.

@@LostCauseRanch yes, always keep them clean helps! I always paint the chassis with a marine primer and waxoil and it keeps the rust at bay! We have 3 defenders we use for mooring ships so pulling each ropes and wires so they work in a marine environment and the paint I’ve put on them has worked really well. Galvanising is without a doubt the way to go if you have them apart!

Would the engine sit too far forward if you mounted the transfer box using factory mount and location. That way you could keep factory prop shafts too.

With the 6L80e transmission and the transfer case adapter I have, that setup is 3 inches longer than the r380 and transfer case combo. So while you could theoretically make that work it would be tighter than I would like up front and being I’m this far into custom on this one I would rather just place it in a more ideal spot for me.

I have done this install on my V5 Rangie Chassis - I would recommend NOT using standard Rangie mounts. They just tend to tear too easy even in a standard V8 Let alone the 6.2

@Austskiboy Жыл бұрын
Also I found it easier to use the stock range rover/defender v8 LT230 mounts - fit these first then they will determine the location of the engine mounts.

Is there a reason you don’t use the Rw-engineering adapter and mounts available in the states? Just curious because i’m about to order all the bits to do one myself. I like that the Rw-eng one doesn’t change the driveshaft length but is there a negative that I don’t know about?
@LostCauseRanch
@LostCauseRanch 2 жыл бұрын
At the time this one was significantly cheaper than the rw one and we where doing our own mounts and exhaust along with running a different front drive and new driveshafts anyways.

Man that’s looking sweet! Why cast iron manifolds rather than headers? Nice fab work!
@LostCauseRanch
@LostCauseRanch 2 жыл бұрын
Packaging mainly, not a lot of real estate to run off the shelf headers. Could make some but that is quite the time investment and it will still have more than enough power for this thing with a factory style manifold.
