    Hi Folks, I have a 1992 Defender 110 and I'm working on it for more than 1 year in Chicago. It has original 2.5 diesel engine on it and I would like to swap with LS3 or similiar engine. Where can I get those engine conversion kits ? Do you have any recommendations for any engine shops in IL?

    Does anyone know a rough cost to swap the twin SU carbs for a single Holly or Edelbrock one. A local shop estimated $500-800 in labor, but now my tab is around $1300 in labor. Does this seem high or about average. Here's a list of what they've done. - removed intake manifold and old carbs -...

    I am getting ready to take the plunge on a 4HP-22ZF auto / Borg Warner T-case swap in my 110.

    Hi Guys, I've been watching the LS3/LS4 conversion thread as well as the Cummins Diesels with great interest. I know that Nene Overland (and a few others UK-based outfits, Wildcat, JE, & others and there are US-based operations too) offer a "kit" and would do the work too. My thoughts are to...
