2003 Land Rover Discovery SE – LS3 V8

When British charisma meets American muscle, interesting things happen. Case in point, a uniquely modified 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE. At its core now sits a carefully installed GM 5.3-liter LS-series V8 engine, delivering strong power, improved reliability, and an unmistakable V8 soundtrack.

Thoughtfully executed by our team at Eurosport, this conversion includes custom wiring, a standalone ECU, enhanced cooling components, and an integrated AC system for comfort. It's a conversion we've taken great care with, aiming for reliability and enjoyment rather than bragging rights.

Beneath its adventurous skin, this Discovery is thoroughly prepped for serious off-road exploits. Sitting approximately six inches taller than stock—thanks to a combined body and suspension lift—it's equipped with robust TerraFirma springs, adjustable Pro Sport shocks, heavy-duty drivetrain components including a reinforced transmission and a Tom Wood’s double-cardan driveshaft, and carefully engineered suspension geometry corrections. Oversized Toyo Open Country mud-terrains wrapped around classic powder-coated steel wheels give it presence and purpose, while custom-trimmed body panels, fitted with Lucky8 flares, perfectly accommodate the rugged stance. An ARB bumper and integrated winch cap off the look, ensuring it's trail-ready from day one.

Recently, this Discovery benefited from comprehensive mechanical attention, including a fresh intake manifold gasket, upgraded low-profile oil pan, resealed transfer case, rear hub assembly, and rear differential, ensuring it's thoroughly prepared for the long haul.

The custom dual exhaust system, flowing through high-quality components from headers to tailpipes, enhances the LS V8’s deep rumble without highway drone. On pavement, the Discovery retains surprisingly civil road manners, offering smooth power delivery and confident handling, making it as enjoyable on the commute as it is capable off-road.

This one-of-a-kind Land Rover embodies the best of both worlds—a classic British icon thoughtfully enhanced by American ingenuity and careful craftsmanship. Offered at $33,000, this Discovery promises adventure, capability, and endless conversation wherever it goes.
