THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW TO FIT A CORVETTE LS3 V8 INTO A LAND ROVER DEFENDER | MAHKER WEEKLY EP010

She's almost ready to go. Come and take a look around our latest build, this incredible Land Rover Defender 110. We installed a customised Chevrolet LS3 with Wipple Supercharger and lots of other goodies. Up front you'll find a Red Winches winch, wheels from Italy and BF Goodrich Tyres.
Here at Mahker, Landrover Defender conversion and restoration is what we do. From our workshop near Whitchurch in Shropshire we bring you the most epic builds.

How I wish I could win the lottery and then treat myself to one of your brilliant builds be very proud they are super

[@glennboyd7049]

I think that while Australians are the kings of offroad when it comes to all things Landcruiser, Utes and off-road caravans, you boys are world class when it comes to turning Landrovers into ultra desirable off-road weapons! Well done Dave and all the team - astonishing engineering quality in every build!

[@wearemahker]

Thanks Glenn 💪💪💪

[@robertanderson-yx8mo]

Outrageous, supreme engineering excellence,Dave is the Colin Chapman of landrovers ,.Makher is the UK at its best,I'm loving this channel.

[@wearemahker]

Great glad you found us Robert

[@chrisrundlett3707]

I am in the middle of putting a 5.3 LS & 6L80 transmission into my 110 Defender - I would love to see more details of how you did all the little things like building the air box, how you ran the steam lines and what you did with the PCV valve? I love the clean look you created under the hood!

[@tightlines601]

I’m in love with this very specific creation.

[@wearemahker]

Awesome isn’t it

Thanks! They're made in house. You can find them in our webshop

[@AapVanDieKaap]

Coolest 130 I've ever seen!!!

[@wearemahker]

Awesome

[@transitpassenger3948]

11:13 Guys very cool idea with 2 spare wheels! I can’t see how to get them, do they open the gate or what? Cool solution! Custom Defender!!!

[@iainf6]

Excellent video, great LS engine lads 👍😎 hope the client appreciated all your touches to this build it was epic....dirty 130 great name 😎👍 does the winch cut down on cooling as it blocks the rad? ....is that the 3 ltr BMW engine....wheels are so cool 😎😎😎🌶️

[@wearemahker]

There’s always issues like overcoming airflow on these builds that’s why we fitted some mighty Cooling fans thanks for your kind words ☺️

[@hugobaert7737]

stumbled on the channel and now im watching everything! absolutely awesome work! I'm currently in the process of finishing my 110 td5 into a rugged long distance offload tourer... however I stumbled upon something a bit worrying... the rear axle is slightly more over to the left compared to the front one. in fact the rear right tire slightly touches sometimes where the spring sits.... I've measured everything but am clueless... have you guys ever had this? can it be fixed? cheers

[@stewartbrowne6851]

Soo cool!!! Do you do any discovery 1/2 work?

[@sachin9606]

What a beauty Boss Well prepared and presented.. How much for that beauty...

[@Djehuti777]

Very nice Dave. Quality in every aspect. What is that product on the front wings.? . its like a chequer plate protector but a different material?

What a great 110, well done! Bottom line give or take, what am I in for a duplicate of such vehicle?

[@jimmyfarley5581]

Stunning car. I hope you fitted a larger fuel tank?

[@It-assistUk]

Wonder what this beauty would set you back as an outright purchase. Much want.

[@stephenlyttleton9032]

Excellent work, beautiful 110. I assume this build is for the pavement? Though plenty of HP, not sure the low rev torque is up to crawling hills.

[@wearemahker]

A supercharger provides instant power from very low down so this machine will tackle anything

[@stephenlyttleton9032]

@@wearemahker Great to know. Thanks!

[@jonathanmcgrath8074]

Awesome build - are they the Equipe 120mm standard tree slider? Or slim 100mm tree slider?

[@wearemahker]

They are the 120s

[@andreasfakis6528]

I'd love to see (and eventually drive) a Defender with the steering wheel (perhaps pedals too) moved 12 cm towards the centre. I know it's not simple and will take a lot of engineering, perhaps even moving the gearbox a bit. but for 50K and upwards budgets it'd be a much nicer and timeless treat than the beer cooler, which I suppose has no suspension, so it'd be more useful for non sparkling drinks, especially if using the Defender for what it's meant.

[@metalnail]

which roof rack did you install on this 110? It looks great.

[@marktalbot4wd]

It’s a cargobear, I have one on mine, German made

[@samruban764]

[@andrewmcdonald4908]

I have a 2007 2.4 Puma (110) which starting to plan improvements. When I discovered that the 2.4 was a poor candidate for tuning started to look around for engine swap outs. Any recommendations? Are some options easier than others not requiring significant changes to chassis, etc.? Any advice please. No rush as both myself and vehicle in Cyprus and big mods don’t seem to be legal here, so might have to bide my time.

All I wanna know is how much does it cost to get a beast like this?

[@wearemahker]

More than most houses

[@priscusemmanuel8403]

I can imagine so you still make these vehicles? Just in case one needed one. Is it something you are still making? If so this would be great news and I dare say no more. Am in US. I love Land rovers I own 2 but this is beyond what I have ever thought Landrover could be turned into

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Takes my vote for the #1 waste of money on a vehicle. Ram TRX in the UK would be cooler and worth more in the long run. Poseur de excellance! I love it when rich people put their lack of taste on full display;)

Cost aside I’m just wondering how it drives with 700Hp 🤔
