Dstd5co,
A couple of questions.........

Whos doing the electronic wizardrty? blocking all sensors.......... making it run without them..?

Is it an auto or manual?

Is that a Lt230 TC its mated to?
Who made the adaptor?

Your time is much appreciated

Keep the pictures coming.

The engine will run on a stand alone ecu... i have a freind which has managed to get a 2.7 from a d3 to run on its on siemens ecu but he is very very clever :-) yes that is a lt230 transfer box. and the transmission is automatic from a discovery 2 with ted tourque converter and will also be running a computer shift :-)

[quaddrive]

any update on this?

Also which stand alone ecu will be used?

MAny thanks

Also who is doing it and what was the cost break-down?
Dont we wish;)

The V6 looks to fit in nicely with room to spare.
