ECD Automotive Design has implemented various engines into our custom vehicles. Since implementing the LS3 engine,  we have continued to be a leading innovator in the custom automotive industry. Now, with the ability to have the powerful LT1 Engine and all-electric options to Defenders

Adding these powerful drivetrains into Classic Land Rover Defenders seems to be one of the most highly desired customizations from Land Rover enthusiasts. A 1990’s era genuine Land Rover Defender topped speeds at approximately 60 mph max, taking a full 30 seconds to get there. An E.C.D. custom Defender with a regular LS3 in it can reach the same 60 mph in 7 seconds compared to its 1990’s era counterpart.

E.C.D. is able to offer the Vortec LC9, the Chevrolet GM LS3, and LS3+ which is the upgraded version of the LS3, the Cummins Diesel engine, the all-electric TESLA drivetrain, and the brand new LT1 engine.  Upgrading the drivetrain in your custom Land Rover Defender can enhance the ride and power along with making your Defender more practical. Having more power can give your Land Rover Defender the ability to tow more behind the vehicle and or when going off-road. E.C.D. offers different kinds of custom drivetrains that will give you different options in power and utility.
