Default 5.0 V8 in a new discovery...

I’ve got a guy telling people (and me) on another message board that he paid $6k as an upgrade to a dealer for them to order a new discovery with the 5.0L V8.

this isn’t possible is it? Of course I don’t believe him and I’m waiting to see what he says next and if he gives the name of the “dealership” or he makes an excuse.

SVX never made it to market. There is a rumoured engine sharing arrangement with BMW including V8s. But nothing you can "order" today AFAIK.

Perhaps it comes with a bridge?

I tried to special order the SVX with the TD6 . . . Nope! Now, we like what we got fine. Don't really need the SVX at this point.

I even got to drive it today . . .

Haha... It was one of my favorite movies. I'm sure I have it on VHS somehwere. 80's movies are the best. They don't make them like they used to.
