More work than I thought, man this is a tight , complex beast! You don’t remove the motor from the car, you unbuild the car from around it! 😂

 

I don't think you have to remove all that just to install the Mina intake system, LOL
Man you are definitely deeeeep into it now, hopefully all goes well and soon you will be back enjoying your car. Best of luck to you.
P.S. sure would be easy to install all the VAP, Mina and Meth mods while its all apart

 

I was also going to change out the front grill growler but I think I’ll pass after seeing this.

 

What's the goal you're going for here?

 

I apologize for the title, I put words above the pictures but they are gone. We are attempting to pull the motor and replace it with this one-







the front of this car is all motor! Hopefully , everything works when finished!

 

So, what is that engine?

 

Sure looks like an AJ133 to me!

 

what happened to the original motor?

 

This makes me curious, I wonder if there are any F-Type engine swaps out there (not counting JLR engines like this)

 

Yes we want to know why you are changing the motor.

did the old one fail? Is the new one upgraded? In any event great pictures thanks for sharing

 

Way too much nonsense to pull the motor. Dont forget to pull the transmission before the motor. Instructions dont even say to pull hood which doesnt make sense.

 

cylinder 6 .
Damage to piston from unknown cause.






the motor in the crate is an AJ133 motor sans Pulleys and supercharger.

 

what instructions?

 

Front looks like a high end skeloton Richard Mille watch!

 

Madscott, what are you planning to do with the old engine ?

 

The engine is likely cheaper than the watch!

 

Would you mind sharing how much that AJ133 set you back?

 

Is this like guessing how many candies in the jar? Ok I’ll play, $8-10k used. $18-20k new?

 

i guess $30k and JLR gave you a 'deal'

 

My quote was $27,000 from JLR, $12-15k is what I found looking around used. This one was $13k from a 2015 with 8200 miles on it. The donor car was T- boned in Cali.
