Just bought my latest addiction and wanted to say Hi! 1972 XJ6 minus the 6. Actually minus the engine and transmission. Bought for $200 off a Jaguar restorer whose retiring. Aside from the drivetrain its 100% complete. Even my wife thinks its cool. I have a nasty habit of never leaving well enough alone so a 454BBC with 700R4 is in the future. Upgraded brakes and rear Posi with a 'sleeper' attitude is my preference. I CAN'T WAIT! BTW...I'm no stranger to engine swaps, drivetrain swaps, and general mechanical mayhem. Also, Lucas the Prince of Darkness doesn't scare me either. Looking forward to chatting it up with everyone. I promise to keep you informed of my progress. Take care all.

Hello, Jim,
Many of us feel that the Xj6 simply Begs for a more powerful engine; one of our members has even traded the 6 banger for a 454. 700R4 seems to be the transmission of choice also, with its Stump Pulling first gear.
I'll look for you over in our Xj6 playpen where Graham has directed you.
