Hey guys first post here from Aus, I was wondering what is the best mods for a 99 Jimny.
And I had an idea that I was wondering if some one could help with. Would the land rover V6 or 8 fit in the jim
Hi and welcome
Probably some off-road tyres unless it has these already.
I am not sure how practical a Landy V6 or V8 will be to fit, I would imagine quite difficult to do, there is a lot to swap and you would need to make up engine mounts etc, even if the Landy engine will fit in the bay.

Guess it really depends how much you like modding!? Personally a small lift and some bigger/more aggressive tyres will get you started, then go from there.
I've never heard of a V6 or V8 Landy swap - I would have thought either would be physically too big, too heavy and likely screw everything else in the drive line up - so unless you'd want to change gearbox, axles, etc, I'm not sure it would make any sense even if it did fit. Basically you'd be better off just building a cut down Landy?
I have heard of people fitting V6 Vitara engines, but even that's a lot of work and again I think would need some serious driveline upgrades. I'm sure someone will chime in that knows more on this one!
