Uh, which cheap cars are you talking about? It costs Toyota and Honda more to make a car in Japan than in the US, especially after shipping is factored in. The high-volume models (or what were the h

But not for the US market, and the cars that are built in the US are typically optimized for the US market (that is, bigger and cheaper.) The US-market Honda Accord exists outside the US only in Aus

A lot of them are retractable; we've got a guy locally who retrofitted the Euro hitch on his E39 M5 and tows a Beverly Hillbillies-style trailer with it. Since most of the tow vehicles in Europe are

Flat surfaces sliding across cam lobes is the rule in OHC engines, but not in pushrod motors. Tell me what pushrod motors Detroit's built in the last ten years that have flat tappets. The Ford 302/35

Gonna venture a few opinions though I'm no expert on the subject...I thought the Jag V12s got the Turbo 400. The best choice engine-wise, of course, would be a fairly recent LS1/LS2, but I'm not sur

Don't forget all the pickups, especially if ultimate power output (lots of 5.3s in the trucks) and weight (they were iron blocks until a couple years ago, they're all aluminum now IIRC) aren't criti

I would say that V12s are unique in character and maybe worth preserving on that basis. Cylinder count aside, the Jag V12 is in no (NO!) way a better engine design than an LSn Chevy. Even the best J

Personally, I think a well-done GM LS2/LS3 installation would improve just about any car. Not to say that all Jag swaps are well-done or that - even with a kit - an engine swap is necessarily going

Most Fords of that vintage have plastic fuel lines, the fix I'm acquainted with for them involves pushing barbed fittings into the line (sometimes accompanied by a little heat-gun persuasion.) John.
