With the enduring popularity of conversions like this, it baffles me that none of the OEs offer a V8 from factory in this style of ute

Excellent thats the way it should of been from new. Well done for the conversion. I have just finished my ls swap into a ln111r, 4wd is fantastic of road and engineering is all done . Your conversion kits make it simple, hope to see you on the road soon.

Just did Booroloola to Hells Gate and Burketown to Cairns in my Pathfinder towing the caravan. It really needed a V8. The V8 Landcruisers and V8 Patrols make it look easy. When the diesel finally gives up Im doing an LS conversion too because I ain't got 50k to spend on a tow rig

That’s a awesome Ute there. I wish marks 4x4 offer a kit for the tf rodeo, that would have saved me a ton of work in the shed but I am stoked I built my own ls Ute. I did use a marks high mount alternator and a/c kit that fit in very nice. As the v8 holden and fords are gone now and prices are getting super high for factory v8s new, people will want to put v8s into all sorts of cars.

Wasn’t this an LS2? Obviously if it was an LSA or similar things go up but just thought to save people wasting his time with these sort of enquires he might have given a figure for that particular setup with the stock 5 speed as I’d reckon that’s where a lot would start? 🤷♂️🤷♂️

@@lachlanwoods3940 Agree it's weird a ballpark figure wasn't mentioned, would have been nice to know a bit more about the process too. A good fully reconditioned LS2 can be bought for ~6-7k, conversion kits another couple grand, plus 20-30hrs labour, plus whatever cost is involved for engineering report and reg engine to chassis. Guessing ~15k all up. What I wonder is, how it impacts the price of insurance.

@@IN_ZANE_ 100% Max, they wouldn’t be doing them and making money for any less that’s for sure? Insurance companies look for any excuse to raise premiums or not pay out on claims so can’t imagine a 4wd that was a 4 cylinder turbo now a thumping big V8 would be cheap to insure if at all? Shit I’m 40 and paid through the ass to insure an FG turbo Ute with a no claim history! 🤷♂️🤷♂️
