Jim:
I would think that the GM 60 degree V6 would be a good choice. If
you get the 3500 cc version you have 220 HP stock, fuel injection, variable
valve timing, electronic ignition, and no sheet metal work required to fit
it. You can get 5 speeds dirt cheap for them too. Add a mild cam and cold
air, you could have 250 HP with the same weight as stock.
The GM 60 degree V6 is narrow enough that it is a drop in except for
some custom motor mounts. No need to trim the battery box, and the motors
are a dime a dozen since GM has made millions of them.

Has there ever been a Jag V12 lump conversion for our cars? Yeah, I know
that
V8's are well researched and fit well. But since I've owned a 96 XJ12, there
is nothing like the sound of smoothness of a Jag V12. Plus there's the
"OMIGOD!" factor when the bonnot is lifted.
