}Has anyone out there done an engine conversion on a Jaguar 
}XJ-S?  I'm rebuilding a 1976 Jaguar XJ-S Coupe'. 
}....
} What I want to do is take 
}this '76 XJ-S, that I got for a song, and make it a pretty, 
}running car for sale to someone who wants a dependable, fuel
}efficient(ish) sporty car.  I'll use the '84 if I want to 
}drive 150 mph!  So again, any advice on conversion to, say, 
}a Chevy 350?

Pick up a copy of Hemmings Motor News.  In the Jaguar section
they always have ads for engine swap kits.  There's a big place
down in your neck of the woods call Johns Cars that's been doing
350 swaps for years and offers kits, instructions and will do
the intsallation if you want.

Might as well make it a cabriolet while you're at it.
