RR Classic Engine Swap

JD.Tippet · Feb 21, 2020

Hi there.
New guy here so be gentle.

I have a 93 RRC hard dash and I'm looking at engine swaps. It currently has a Mitsubishi engine and manual box.
I'm interested in the LS3 conversion but wanted to know if there is a cheaper option than the £35k I have seen quoted.

Also, anyone know what's is involved In a v8 conversion?

I'm at the researching stage so will be asking lots of dumb questions.

TIA

Hi and welcome!

He's not been seen in a while but check out @zen 's threads. He's tried various different engines. I think he's just down the A1 from you in Essex.

As for cost, most people on here do their own spannering so hard to say.

I do like the idea of the LS engine but not sure how much else would have to be upgraded to take it.
