- It's been a long time coming but I'm super excited that my ultimate #LandRover is back from Twisted and ready to show you!
In this video I'll talk you through what's changed as we take my new and improved Defender, with its LS3 Corvette engine, for a spin. Spoiler alert, it's mega!!

I made mine myself, but used a manual 6 speed. If that radiator is from Allisport I bet you’ll be replacing it soon, I bought one for mine and sent it back 3 times for leaks. Then gave up with them and used a standard LR pre 200tdi rad with twin fans, which has been perfect even in heavy traffic and very hot weather. Allisport was £800, LR one was £80... If you haven’t done so already I’d very strongly recommend upgrading all 3 differentials to Ashcroft ATB’s, makes it far more able to handle the power on and off road.
I'm building one at the moment with the same engine and a 6 speed auto transmission. Watching your video and reading the comments always helps me guide the build further. Thank you for sharing
Most just glaze over the challenges of marrying old vehicle architecture with modern powertrain performance...I appreciated the acknowledgement that "this is still an agricultural vehicle" that requires a rolling launch. Spectacular.
Wow, great job Max! What a beast!
Stunning
I love the engine sound
Looks and sounds great. I recently did an engine swap from a V8 discovery in my defender. I managed to trash my transfer box having some fun in fields, seems you need to drift and slide it with the diff lock on!
Looks and sounds great mate. Nice touch with matching the colours on the top of the engine. Look forward to seeing it at some point
👍
Love it, great project and great engine. Videos featuring the family fezzas would go down a treat if they’re produced like this!
Great wrist game too!
Very cool! Thank you for making
Yeah.. that burbling V8 just awesome.. love it.
Enjoy man- it’s beautiful.
“ The best of British…with an American motor”. Haha.
Those LS engines are amazing-
What a beast !! Love it 👌👊
I like the colour, Keswick green is the best, I trust you have several layers of security on this. I’ve turned my Defender into a mobile fortress.
😀😀. Defenders are becoming a jewel.
Muy bello tu defender!! Quiciera tener uno, es un encnto ese bellisimo carro
nice! watch is pretty dope also!! worth more than the new defender!! your killin it fella
I love the Twisted V8 Defenders! Unfortunately they are hard to come by here in the US so I got a G55 :)
Bradley wheels looks cool
The Real Super Max
Perfection 👌
What model of alpine stereo did you eventually get fitted? Also are they the 18” alloys?
Nice, bet you surprise a few who want to race! :D
Thought this might be on CZcams 😂 you just came into my work 👌 sounds good and goes like sht of a shovel 👌
Just realised who you are I wish i knew when you was here 😂
@@joeshep9039 I better come back and get a better discount because I those post tops were pricey! 😂
😂 Unfortunately I can't do anything with that 😂 Ive worked here for 3 years and I'm still shocked by the price of some things 😂
Damn i miss those lanes!
Sounds amazing am in love with it
Good video ! I’m from Cornwall my self thinking about doing the same to my defender, what’s the cost of the engine and fitting.. thanks in advance
Does ayone know what exhaust this has?
Which gauge pod did you use?
What is the colour on this defender
What sunglasses are you wearing ( brand and model ) thanks
How much was the swap???????????
How much did it cost to prepare this car??
🔥
What model is this
As much as I love V8s (I've had three Defender 90 V8s)...all Defenders should have a 300 Tdi or the Td5. It just suits it for what the 'car' is. A Defender is a utility vehicle, not a sports car, and should have a suitable grunty diesel engine. It looks nice, but I would have preferred the diesel - each to their own.
Twisted or makher ? Who is the best.
Sounds better than factory works v8, and of course cheaper
👌👌👌
That expression 😆 on 3:26
Looks and sounds great shame we couldn’t have a progressive update
What do you mean that everything you do you have to build up slowly, and 'ease' into it or it just won't take it? You should be able to just dump the pedal to the boards and have all that Chevy muscle take care of the rest and do the work for you!
Also, if you think that's power, you want to try it with a manual cog sack instead. It'd give you a third more power again, and up the economy! Nice package all the same.
Was the fuel pump changed for a more powerful one?
Yes
Looks lovely. How much approximately???
I'm looking at doing similar, and I wouldn't expect any change out of around NZD$100,000.00 (50 thousand pound)
Those indicators are backwards
In three years time: adding a Whipple to my LS3 Defender.
A rough idea on the price of the swap? 👍🏽
Around $35k USD with new crate engine/transmission, conversion parts, and labor.
What’s the mpg ol’sport?
I don’t know and I don’t want to know! All I do know is I fill up after 180 miles on average compared to 239 miles ish with the diesel.
@@MaxChilton that’s not bad at all and all you need to know 👊
Drag race a V8 Works please.
defender and comfort.. hmm.. no.. but they are nice.. and well.. even the old V8 was originally V8.. the plymouth.. so its close enough
Completely and utterly pointless. Love it👍👍👍
Now throw in an LSA blower on it.
How the he'll is it 0-60 when you were doing 5mpg to 60 . Lol 😂😂😂😂
Major mechanical changes and he only cares about what colour things are painted, lol
