My 2013 with the 5L V8 that breathes from both nostrils (air intakes on the passenger and driver side) will probably never be blessed with that option.

I think this is one of the stupidest things JLR did to this car.

I have only ever seen one guy go down the rabbit hole of trying to get it to work via rerouting the driver's side inlet to be in parallel with the passenger side with snorkel. It sort of worked, but he kept getting a CEL. Can't recall the specific code as this was years ago.
From what I undestand of 3d printing, this sounds like the most workable option for this, but I don't have the technical chops to do it. Maybe I should poke around some of the 3D printing forums and see if I can find anyone looking for a project.

Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if the 3d scanning devices are good enough that you could scan the existing snorkel from the LR3, then reverse it in software...

That is exactly the thought I had. All of the other parts from a kit should work, I would think. Just need the fender box mirror imaged.
Snorkels on gas engines are a waste of time IMO. If you are that deep then your diff breathers, transfer case breather and ignition coils are under water. I can just imagine an LR4 with a wet fuse block.

$21,642.73. That is what I paid for mine. Factory new engine, upgrade front an rear crossover pipes, new thermostat, spark plugs, fuel injectthors, waterpump, motor mounts, , pretty much everything. Dealership was about $8500.00 less than other dealerships and 1 independent.
Price will vary dramatically depending on who is doing the work (dealer, indy shop, DIY) and the engine source (used, rebuilt, or new).
A used engine installed as DIY could be under $10k ($6k-$8k for the engine, plus misc parts/fluids, and dozens of hours of your labor).
Anything else, ±$15k is probably on the low end.

I bought my truck for $22K so when somebody told me the engine swap alone was about the same price, I almost fell over.Price will vary dramatically depending on who is doing the work (dealer, indy shop, DIY) and the engine source (used, rebuilt, or new).
