Update: We got another one up and running today with our newer kit design. This has been the "budget build".

So far the specs on this setup are:
1999 Discovery 2 with ~ 112,000 miles. 4HP22 transmission.
2004 LM7 5.3L - $400
eBay LS engine harness -$315
Junkyard GM ECM - $55

eBay harness has worked okay so far. We'll be giving it a thorough test in the coming weeks.

A first start video. Sounds meaner with the headers!

Ace how hard is it to put a 4HP24 in a land rover that has a 4HP22 in it

Not difficult - it is virtually the same just a little longer, especially with the engine out already. When we put the LS in the white truck, we also swapped the trans for a 4HP24 unit. The green truck that we just started still has the 4HP22.

Did you use the transfer case off the 4HP22 and put on the 4HP24 I thought the spline shaft was different

No, as far as I know, they are the same in that respect.

I'm wondering if we put High flowing race catalytic converters under their will that throw check engine light on the O2 sensors
