The V8 Diesel has a different suspension set up, not that is probably strictly necessary but just a thought to add into the equation 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

most things can be done, it may not be cost effective or mechanically effective though. If it happened to me I'd be tempted to have it broken for parts First time FFRR owner |

I’m sure someone like Allan Millyard could do something like that but I’m sure it will be beyond most normal people |

He’d fit a V10 instead 🤣

It is possible, but not practical

The suspension is only different in terms of the active aspect of it … which works in addition to the actual setup does it not? i.e. the physical arms and struts are the same across both,, but the SDV8’s anti roll bar has an active central component and active dampers, where as the V6 doesn’t. In reality, it’ll just mean a bit more lean on cornering etc … and maybe the damper rate will be different

Or more likely a Spitfire Merlin/RR engine... |

Cam-Tech-Craig, Now you're talking. What a sound that would be. |
