rayaapp2 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Has anybody seen a jaguar 4.2liter out of the e type model put in any of the z's series cars. My friend owns an engine and I have plenty of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I may be wrong but I recollect that the original JTR manual was for swapping an American v8 into the Jaguar hence the JTR title "Jaguars That Run". A boat anchor maybe a better choice. Where do you go for parts? What tranny do you use. The parts are scarce and expensive. SBC's are cheap,powerful,plentiful and a proven swap.And that e type the motor came out of probably is sporting a Chevy V8 these days.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I agree. Sell the engine to a collector and put something in that's easy to find parts for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 What does it weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clint78z Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 If you could get it not to leak oil, it probably would be half decent. I would take every last strange doo dad of the engine stip it bare bones with manifolds and use aftermarket efi, and use throttle cables instead of that abortion linkage setup. It's very heavy since it's cast iron, probably it's biggest penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
