Yeah lol, he wants too see weather buying one already installed would be cheaper than doing the conversion him self. Obviously if he did it him self he'd need a defender with no engine, or buy a high mileage one for cheaper then just ditch the engine. U can buy the ls3's for £6,000 so it's not "too" bad. If I had the money I'd buy one straight from twisted.

Haha yeah the LS3 may be £6k but the electronics to run it are another £1k and you need to find a suitable gearbox which there arnt many that will retain 4wd. Quaife make one but thats another £10k on top. Not to mention uprating the rest of the drive train!
Probably looking at least £25k either way a **** sode cheaper than £70 - £100k for the pre built ones.

I found someone selling the engine for £5200 and the Ecu etc for £800, and you're right there's loads of other things that need to be done, yes and still a bit cheaper

Thats alright! Also something I would love to do in the future. Friend of mine did have an idea, buy a Vauxhall Maloo, usually a LS3 or similar engine and you can often pick em up for £10k or less. Gives you all engine, gearbox and ECU would just have to have someone modify it somehow to fit a TX box.

That's a good idea, but you could either get lucky with an engine that's been looked after or you could end up with a pile of scrap.
