When you consider a custom Defender, it’s not just about color, leather, or stitching — the beating heart of your build is the drivetrain. At The Landrovers, we believe that choosing the right engine is just as personal as the look and feel of your dream machine. Whether you’re after raw power, nostalgic rumble, or silent torque. We build it your way.
Let’s explore the four main drivetrain options available for your custom Defender build, each with its own personality, strengths, and soul.
The LS3 is a modern legend. It’s the most popular choice for those who want a powerful, balanced driving experience — loud when you want it, smooth when you need it.

The LS3 delivers effortless cruising and serious punch, wrapped in that unmistakable V8 growl.
If you’re looking for an upgrade in both performance and refinement, the LT1 steps up. It’s based on GM’s Gen V small block — lighter, smarter, and sharper.
