Looking for a mechanic/engine builder for a V-12
 
I have recently inherited a 1972 E-Type roadster after the passing of its owner. The car itself is well along with a full restoration however the engine is currently pulled from the car and mostly apart. The heads are re-assembled with the valves, cam towers, and cams and it appears to me that all other parts are clean and ready for re-assembly. I do have a brand new set of pistons and liners. I am looking for someone experienced in these engines, preferably in the mid-west, to complete the reassembly the engine long block and make sure all I have all the required parts. I am not looking for fitment into the car. Just bringing all the parts to someone for reassembly then I would pickup the assembled long block. Our network of Jaguar enthusiasts from the cars owner has not yielded any leads who want to tackle a V-12 engine. I am not looking for a 100 point show car in the engine build rather a very nice driver. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Pikeman,
Try contacting the Jaguar Affiliates Group of Michigan Website: http://www.jagm.org . Most of the clubs have vendor sources for repairs parts and service. Where are you in Michigan? I'm originally from Benton Harbor.

Not sure how far you are from North Central Wisconsin, but I would recommend Classic Mechanics, in Neenah, WI
