hi folks,
i'm kenny from edinburgh in sunny scotland and thought i'd sign up to the forum seeing ive just picked up a 1966 mk2 3.8 auto, a bit incomplete at the moment as i have in 1 hand a pretty rust free but well faded rolling shell, and in the other hand a freshly rebuilt 3.8 engine with an xjs 5speed getrag gearbox waiting to be dropped in. no doubt i'll be needing some information about this fairly common conversion so if anyone can point me to anyone who has done the conversion or any threads linked to the conversion i'd be forever in your debt. i have most things required for the job in hand, pedal box, master cylinders etc etc but need advice on propshafts and the best way to refit the engine as ive heard some folk drop the engine/gearbox in from the top and some drop the front x/member and then lift the bodyshell over the engine and box. anyway thats my future dilemmas, happy days, late nights, sweat blood and no doubt tears along the way!!

cheers
