Yes it has been done and no kit that I know of. The one I saw that had it was far from a finished product. It ran and drove but the dash was lit up

A Russian put a toyota 4.7 in a D3, bit of a downgrade if you ask me. A 5 ltr SC from an RRS would be good, i got to drive a Jaguar F-Pace SVR 5ltr supercharged at a racetrack and boy are they quick.
421kw and 700nm of torque.

5.0 doesn't have a stellar reputation and is expensive on its own

I have often wondered what would happen if, out of complete frustration with one of the LR3s, you could find a donor 4Runner and put the running gear and all into the LR3.

You might have something then!

What engine do you have now? If a V6 gasoline version, then it's a no brainer (Ford Cologne) but if not, better get out your hot rod/engineering tools, because you are going to need them all to do a GM LS engine conversion in any modern computer controlled Land Rover LR3/4/Range Rover vehicle. The transmission control processor (electronic) requires that you have inputs from the engine ECU to determine when to shift, and the whole process (including the terrain control functions) just gets more complex from there. It is not a job for the uninitiated, but I'm sure it can be done if you are determined, there is I think one person in Texas who has done this swap, but have not seen or heard much about it. Good luck, and if you proceed, please post back on your progress, I'm sure many of us would be extremely interested...

an engine swap makes zero sense with this rolling computer.
