I am VERY surprised at the number of responses that suggested swapping
was a good idea, that V12 is a better motor with proper maintenance and
if I was looking for a Jag, I would never even give a second thought to
a butchered one with a V8 in it. I did look for a Jag a few years ago
for my wife and the V8 ones were CHEAP compared to the Jag powered ones
but we were only looking for a Jag powered car. In the end she got a Alfa.
Its your car do as you wish but take a look around and see the resale
values of converted cars versus non-converted, it drops drastically for
the converts and they never seem to run right, there is a always a
"issue" somewhere.
