Hey Everyone,

I've been lurking for a while, but it's finally time to join the fun, I was looking into getting an ACAE kit a few years ago, but wasn't ready to lift my daily lol. I'm prepared now but when i went to the site it seems they are no longer selling the conversion? Am I wrong and did they rebrand? I was happy to see recent activity here and sorry if this has been asked recently, I'm just hoping it's still available!

 

Montigny,
ACE is unfortunately no longer an option. I cannot confirm, but my understanding is that he is honoring support for those who have already purchased. The sale of any new kits has been shut down.

There are other pathways/options to make an LS happen, but no kit that is as complete as the ACE kit was.
I am on the tail end of a Gen 4 LS and GM 6L90 swap. I used the Mark's 4WD adapter for the 6L80 to LT230. The rest has been a roller coaster of figuring everything out.
I am happy to answer any questions/offer guidance or support. Feel free to reach out any time.

Hey my friend, great job

 

I want to replace the gasoline engine with a 5.3 and change the automatic transmission

 

Hello my friend, can you help me? I want to know some electrical diagrams because I want to install an LS engine and a 6L80 transmission.

 

Silver,
I am happy to help. As far as electrical diagrams, the RAVE manual is here on the forum. I used that to make all my connections from the GM harness to the Rover side. For the GM harness, I used Alldatadiy. Alldata is one of two major companies that supply automotive shops with repair manuals. Alldatadiy allows you to subscribe to one vehicle for a certain period of time. Pick the specific vehicle that your drivetrain (more specifically ECM) is coming out of. Depending on how much or how little of the work you plan to do, the wiring will probably be way down the list. I didn't finish mine until much later. Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

I used lt1swap.com wiring information for the GM ECM wiring side. it worked very well. and then all data works well. I did the same and used the rave manuals for the rover side.
https://lt1swap.com/E38%20ECM%20Connector%20Pinouts.htm there are other years to chose from too. but I used this one for my 2013 5.3 and 6l80

 

Thank you dear, what is the method to operate all the systems of the Discovery 2 without tampering with the original electrical systems such as the speedometer, RPM, gear stick signals P R N D 3 2 1 because I will install a 6L80 transmission

 

with 6l80 you will have to make a device to keep gear selection or modify the stock gear sensor to work with display.
Speedo signal comes from ABS computer nothing needs to be done there, rpm you will have to wire it up to new ECM,
in the future I will work on something to keep gear selection display. but not a priority now.

 

Hi all! After 5 years of refining the swap it being forced to sell the car. Wanted to share here given that the audience is so large and specific to the ACE LS swap. Looking to get $10k for it and located in Charlottesville, VA.
