Hi and welcome

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!

Good luck either way.
