I'm hoping the followers on this board can answer a quick question about engine swaps. I want to know if a 1994 6.0 V12 can fit in place of a 5.3 V12 in a 1972 E-Type? If so, am I correct that the original transmission would mate up or would an adapter be necessary.

Thanks,

 

I would think that the block is relatively the same, but I wonder about sufficient clearance under the bonnet for the EFI stuff.

These guys would know: V12 E-type EFI-conversion / AJ6 Engineering

It being done in Germany, but contact Roger Bywater at AJ Engineering at the link above.

 

it will fit fine, but i would keep those quad carb setups.

 

you will need to change all of the front to use the old jag parts 6.0 has one belt and the 5.3 has more

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the oil pan will clear as you'd hope. Iirc it's a few inches deeper

 

you could flip the oil pans,

the block would need to be redrilled for the new block, in a few places which isn't really a big deal.

I agree with m90, id throw the carb setup and keep.the front pully system from the 6.0
