HI I am a 25 year old father of 1. My name is ACE and my father in law recently GAVE me a perfect body of a Mark VII . The engine doesnt run and I am working on redoing the interior. I dont necessarily have the money to restore it all back to original so I am going the american way and most likely will frankenstein the car keeping the body the same but probably finding an engine that will fit. If anyone knows which engine will drop in perfectly that would be appreciated.. I love classics and lead sleds. I wanted to sort of take it the hot rod route and do my own thing with it. I have family that rebuilds classics and hot rods so any chopping or refabbing wont be a problem. sorry if i offend the Jaguar enthusiasts that believe in keeping it original.... But I plan on making it my style.

 

Yo Ho Ho!
