Discovery 2 LS Conversion

We are recommending to add lift kits when doing the swap if you don't already have one. It's not necessary for the swap, but if you plan on going off-road, I'd highly recommend it. The oil pan is a little tighter to the front driveshaft than factory and while at full-flex at the stock suspension height, I could see it making slight contact. The OME lift took care of that problem and now there is more than enough clearance in every direction.
My personal rig is getting an LS within the next month. It has on OME lift, steel front bumper, and winch, so that should be a good test. I don't foresee any problems.

I'm in. When? Where? Price?
I have a 2004 Disco. My truck has the knocking noise from slip cylinder sleeves. These vehicles are really junk but I love them. I took it to an engine builder "Friend" almost two years ago. It's still there! The only thing he did was pull the motor and take it all apart. Now he just told me I need to get it off the property. Obviously he wont return my deposit and also obviously we are no longer "Friends" This kit would be just what the doctor ordered.
If I didn't love this truck so much I would just junk it and get a FJ.

The first kits will be hopefully coming out around the beginning to middle of December. The emissions-capable swap kits will be ready a little while after the first kits.
