seems like a great choice and likely lighter too, eh?

    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.
