Default New member intro

Hello!
I am a 21 year old college student in Indiana. Back in May I bought a 1967 S-type, with a (1987?) XJ6 4.5L engine swapped, in horrible condition in hopes of restoring it fully and getting hands-on experience to learn the ins and outs of the vehicle, and cars in general. I'll be posting my first real post in a bit, but I am sure I will have plenty more questions as I continue through restoring it.

Welcome to the forums sgaunce,

As has already been mentioned in a reply to your post in XJ6 & XJ12 Series I, II & III forum, an XJ6 engine will be a 4.2 litres in-line six cylinder. Engine number will help identify the build year.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Midwest Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-midwest-39/ to find other members in your region.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Good luck with the restoration and enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome to the Forums.

I think GGG has directed you to the wrong S Type Tech Section, but you will find the other one easily.

Just in case.

AWESOME cars,.

Good luck.

From one S-type owner to another... Welcome. The vintage MK-II/S-type forum is populated with a very friendly group and contains a wealth of knowledge.
