    I've no connection with the place at all (so no "sales pitch" here), so I was very impressed that Andrew (who took over the business from his father) took the time to show me the LS engined D90.
    He's a really nice guy, I reckon you just ought to give him a ring to discuss what you "envisage"!

    Forgot to mention, LRA have a good facebook page with a fair bit of info, pics, etc, I reckon ya'd see the black 90 that I viewed on there.

    Yep, great Face Book site and You Tube videos.
    What a fantastic installation! Im more interested in the V8 LS3 Auto conversion than ever now.
    A toss up between the benefits of Grinnas’ 3.2 Puma, vs LRA’s LS3 and Auto Box.
    Just waiting for my house to sell!
    I wish there were actual owners posting on here re benefits vs downsides. Couldn’t see any down side to the 3.2, apart from I’m not aware of anyone having it done and converting to a suitable 6 speed auto. Just concerned with the LS3 re petrol availability for remote travel, but I do have 250 litres of fuel capacity, which would give me I expect about 1500kms out of the V8, so I’m sure not a real concern.
    Hhmmm, what to do.

    Hello Baytown.
    I reckon that if you were SERIOUSLY interested in an LS3 conversion, LRA would arrange a demo drive for you, then Ya'd be "hooked"!
    When I was there, and like I said, I've only been there once, the black LS3 90 was there, and Andrew apologized that, at the time, it wasn't driveable, otherwise He would've, "taken me for a spin"!
    IMHO a 3.2 whilst being good, & might indeed suit some, but I reckon that in relation to an LS3, ya're only half way there. I did speak to Andrew about the supercharged LSA. He said they'd put a few into Range Rovers, but because of its power, "there were engineering issues with a Defender", which would make it very difficult to get engineering approval.

    Hi Guys,

    The thread below from the US will get you motivated:

    GM Gen 4 conversion including LS - Defender Source

    Has the most definitive info out there. Includes a couple from Oz.

    cheers, DL
