So sad if you take the original engine out! This will lower the value. Just fix it correctly, and you will be a happy camper! These cars generally overheat due to the Thermostat not being changed out, or radiator plugged up. And yes, if it did overheat, You will need to install new head gaskets. U might as well rebuild heads While they are off the car. Good luck with it! Long time collector here. I have 2 Shadows!😊
Strange how you want to engine swap it but can't change the head gaskets, who's really going to do the engine swap you or an engineer. If you can't maintain a classic car then you shouldn't bother having one.
Exhaust on a luxery car. Wont that ruin the experience of the passeger. You buy rolls to feel rich and important. They dont buy rollsroyce drive the car. They buy it to be the passager of one.
It is a shame Rolls Royce is not under original ownership while it was no rolls royce ever broke down. They would have a flight come out to where the car was with a full workshop on the plane give you a loner and repair the car for free just to maintain the illusion that rolls royces never break down.
Sad to hear you are doing an ls swap. It will ruin the experience of driving one. The engine should be smooth and not loud. If you want more reliable engine, i would have gone with 1uz instead of ls.
I have a 1977 Silver Shadow II in mint condition. Driving it tomorrow Saturday for fun. Best car in the world :-)
Hopefully things will go smoothly in the future.
There is a guy in Australia who put an LS into the same type of car, i remember reading about it in Street Machine magazine several years ago.

do the engine swap for sure ???
Tbf, thats some pretty decent context for a pretty decent dream. I respect it. Keep at it please. And come to New Zealand more 😉
Very nice.
Sweet 1st ride, ❤
What do you think of a 2uz turbo
Man TJ Keep up the work man I love ur videos ❤❤
Thanks! Will do!
Unpopular opinion. Do the rebuild on the RR motor. Keep it original. In 4 and a half years you should have been able to afford that by now.
I moved countries & had a lot of stuff come up
7.5k for an old rolls? Thats an amazing deal
10k for a head gasket.. 😂
European + 60k= Runaway 🏃♂️,😂😂😂!!!
I have a 1980 911sc targa that I'd be willing to sell , if you're interested.
That’s what’s up.
Should have just gotten the engine rebuilt
I actually have a 2017 Honda Civic Si Hatchback too, do you think I should sell it?
Why sell it?
Good decision, of not selling it. If I had that I too would agree with you.
Good plan! 👦👍🏎🏁🚩 Smiles for Life
❤
K swap it. Nothings more dependable. Turbo it
I want to do this but with a bentley or a porsche
Id love to see it
We will brother
Honestly dawg, 3UZ swap it
Put a ls in it with a.nice exhaust

@@lassivaisanen4354I reckon it would be a blast
Have you seen a Rolls Royce wraith with 20K exhaust down pipes custom headers and resonator
The car is cheap but petrol isn’t I think they eat like 35l per 100km
Wanna bet the engine is ok and needs a new head gasket?
