Default Jaguar 3.8/4.2L fuel injection conversion.

I'm not sure where this would go, so can the mods help out please?

I was at a UK performance car centre last week and in the reception they have a Jagaur 3.8/4.2L V6 engine with their own fuel injection conversion.
But it retains Webber carb bodies for originality/authenticity.
The engine is built as a whole unit and with various other modifications includng a new ECU and various new sensors.

Judging by the customers cars at their unit I would say they are pretty serious about performance enhancements and had plenty of amazing race cars out the back.

I asked if they have created a kit with instructions they can sell and ship, but sadly not yet.
They have to do the conversion with the car at their unit in Northampton, UK.
It was so interesting I thought some members on the forum might be interested. Although they haven't shown the conversion on their new website, these are the guys to talk to:

You can buy Weber DCOE style EFI throttle bodies which bolt in replace the original carbs. Can't remember the name of the firm who does them but a quick Google should find them for you.

EDIT

Here they are https://www.efihardware.com/products...hrottle-bodies not cheap but a very nice solution.
