Hey guys, was jus wondering has anyone done this yet? I have an 03 hse but ive seen a 2010 in a auction for dirt cheap. I want to swap engine and trans and also maybe the speedometer cluster because it looks cool! Just wondering what ALL mite i need to do this job and also is it ok to keep the pcm i have in the 03 now to runt the ne 5.0...thanx

 

Whats wrong with the 2010 at auction? You will have a headache getting the computers to work properly. The engine designs are very different, and since the computers control everything in the car, you will have sort of a frankenstein computer setup with some computers from one car and the other. You will need the dealership computer to modify settings and features. Might even want to call NASA up and ask for some advice . If you attempt this, all I can say is good luck. To my knowledge, it has never been done before.

 

wow..didnt think it was a biggie...the 2010 at the auction has severe rear end damage..thought it might have been a good idea! Guess not!

 

What might be a good idea is to part it out. The engine, transmission, and electrical components are probably worth a fortune.

 

I'd definitely second that... the headlights themselves could pay for the car, LOL.

 

lol rite! ive done some research and talked to a few guys and found that this could actually work...but i dont think its worth it...geting it started i heard would be the most difficult but the 5.0 does fit in

 

Right, it is possible. Anything is... Is it worth it? is really the question of whether or not to proceed. Someone I know successfully put a hummer H3 engine, transmission, and transfer case into a LR discovery. Had custom drive shafts made. Apparently they thought it was worth it .
