All my issues, missing parts, bad instructions..etc...at the end of the day it was there, I just had to figure it out.
What is the issue... I havnt read too far back here?
Facebook group "USA land rover discovery 2 ls swap" is helpful too.

Update: I was able to get ahold of the original purchaser and get the instructions off the website.
I'm hoping someone might be kind enough to help me track down the ACE LS Swap instructions. I purchased an ACE kit from a guy that bought from ACE, but never used the kit. I didn't realize the instructions were on ACE's website only. I've tried creating a login for ACE's website and emailed them, but I'm not getting any response. The original purchaser of the kit isn't responsive to my request.
I've got the kit still in the original boxes but would like to see ACE's instructions. Mainly when it comes to the wiring.
Can anyone help me out? Does anyone know a better way to contact ACE rather than email them? Are they still in operation?
Thank you
Brian

Ace instructions
Good sir, if you would be so kind, it will be awesome if I could get the instructions as well last year, I bought my discovery 2 and I have the LS I’m going to use. Even though I don’t have the ace kit yet it will be good for me to look over until I get it if I can find one that is! I would really really really appreciate it!

Hello Everyone,
I am hoping that ACE has not stop selling their conversion kit as I just bought a 5.3L LS engine with the plan to buy the conversion kit and repower my land rover that has a scuffed cylinder. If the kit is not longer available does anyone know what are the modifications that need to be done on the Land Rover Harness and on the LS harness? Also, what calibration or parameters need to loaded/modified on the LS PCM? I am hoping there is no need to put an additional device in between the Bosch ECM and the LS PCM to simulate inputs or send CAN messages, but if required I can build something up if I can get info on the messages or signals that need to be emulated. I understand I will have to fabricate/modify the wheel housing, mounts and build other adapters to get some of the accessories mounted, but I can deal with that (trial an error).
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, ACE isn't selling kits anymore. Below is their autoresponder. I got this when I emailed him pics of my ACE-swapped Disco on the trails. He thanked me for the picture after I got the autoresponder so he is monitoring the address. As far as I know there is no other kit to adapt to the LR trans and electronics. you'll have to swap in a 4L80 along with the 5.3L and get an aftermarket dash panel. You'll lose traction control and ABS (as far as I know). It's the best that can be done right now. It's pretty clear there's a hole in the market that can be filled by some enterprising company - I wish it was me!
Thank you for your interest in our D2 kits. Due to rising coast and
supply chain issues kits are no longer available, you should look
elsewhere for your Discovery 2 needs.
This email is monitored for questions by customers who have purchased kits.
