I swapped an LS into a Disco
Hi gents:
I just finished prepping my LS for an ACE kit swap into my disco 2. It's just the first part, but I'll update more next week. (It's installed). Please have a look and let me know what you think. |
Nice job on the videos. Enjoyed watching!

Great video, very helpful as I am considering an LS swap. Can you provide info on the LS? Like, how did you choose which LS model, how did you buy it - was it online, a local yard, did you have many options, mileage, etc.? ACE has recommendations for which model of LS, but what was your experience is choosing one? I have been looking at online salvage yards that sell engines and whole vehicles for the end user to remove he engine and associated components, so much so, that the choices are overwhelming. Also, what was your thoughts on whether to rebuild the donor engine or not, and to what level of rebuild: heads only, or the whole lower end, etc.?

What about the ACE kit did you not like?
