this is exciting
Oh man, I want one so badly. I wonder how angry my wife would be if I started a repower project in the garage...
I?d hate to cut and weld my galvy frame, too.
Maybe I should start a new threat for this question.
As I'm lurking on this thread and coveting a ISF 2.8 for my 110 this question came to me, would a 2.8 work in a LR3?
I personally rebuilt my '06 4.0 SOHC (Ford motor by the way) and pulling the motor was more straight forward than I thought. If you could isolate the LR3's subsystems so that the computers don't take a dump would it work?
Thoughts?
WILL DO!Yes, please start a new thread. We have a whole section here for Cummins ISF2.8, so let's diversify it and get some threads going.
I just got my official announcement from Cummins a little bit ago

I?ve personally communicated with many of you on this distribution list over the past few years while we were crafting this program. We share the same passion and addiction for unique, reliable, and most importantly - fun personal transportation. I couldn?t be more excited to announce that the start of sales is finally here!
We have worked feverishly since our announcement at the SEMA Show in 2016 to ensure that our first crate engine we bring to market doesn?t disappoint. To show our appreciation for each of you who have eagerly and patiently been awaiting this day, we wanted to give you all an exclusive heads-up and first chance to buy before our press release goes on the afternoon of September 29.
We are limiting quantities for 2017 to 500 engines so if you urgently need an engine, be ready to act quickly on Friday, September 29 at 9 a.m. Eastern at www.CumminsRepower.com. The only way to buy a Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel will be through our website so be sure to secure yours as early as possible!
You?re not just getting an engine. Our team is made up of Enthusiasts just like you so we know how disappointing it can be to open a new box of toys only to find out that you have to do homework and order more parts to make it work. We are essentially providing everything you need to start your engine with the exception of a battery, cooling package, and of course, diesel fuel!
Our kit (PN 5467046) also includes: </td></tr></tbody></table>

Congrats! I hope you keep the group updated on your project.Well, looks like I'm an R2.8 owner. Let the fun begin.
Not for sale in the state of Texas??
Well.... dealbreaker.
I didn't see any limitations for shipping locations and I thought the wait was for approval to sell in California and all other states were not a problem.
Did someone try to buy in TX and it wasn't allowed?
Due to state / provincial law restrictions, these engines are not currently available for purchase in the state of Texas or the province of Quebec.
Of all states, I wouldn't think Texas would be an issue.
