this is my first visit here, and my brother asked me to do this .
Actually my brother has recently bought a 2002 Freelander 2.5 L V6 .
And he asked me a question, "can I install a 4.0 L V8 into my freelander" ??
I immediately answered him " I DON'T KNOW ". I asked him to wait for some days in order to post a thread in this GREAT, HELPFUL & FANTASTIC forum !!
so the question is :
Can my brother install a 4.0 V8 into his Freelander ?? instead of the weak 2.5 V6 . Will he face problems to install a 4.0 V8 ????
OHHHH I forgot to tell you something else, he told me if he installed a 4.0 L he will install R380 manual gearbox, also LT 230 transfer case, and both of them are from a wrecked 1999 Discovery V8 .
I hope u all reply as soon as possible. I need replies from all experts .
I'm waiting you guys, don't be late ! Because my nervous brother will eat me if you will be late !!!

I have brothers like that as well. Best idea is to take the funds required for such a project, and buy a real Disco and fix it up. Then you have two rides, one for flailing the trail, the other for enjoying the other 95% of the roads. Or buy a Defender, if your bro has deep pockets....
And seems like I saw a post somewhere that guys found a supercharger from the 60's that would fit the Disco "what have we done"
NO NO NO sir !
I need the answer from you about this question:
*For EXAMPLE_
when I need to install a 4.0 V8 into a 2002 Freelander, will I face a problem to fit the engine ??? that is my question dear ..
I mean does it fit into a Freelander ?? or NOT ? I hope it fits, because if it doesn't fit he will put me instead of his Freelander's spare tire on the 5th door !!
LOL LOL LOL ! so nervous man , and can become angry within fractions of a second !! he is the tallest in my village. when he cuddles his girlfriend she becames like a spoon between his hands .
reply PLZ

if you really want to try something, put a 3.0 V6 out a ford escape, They use similar transmission assemblies and you might be able to buy it lock stock and barrel and get it to fit.
