Wrong.....its Bud light

 

They also have this strange drink that is referred to as coffee: . When I tried it it was just brown water.

 

But you probably enjoy spaetzle.

 

Who me. I am fish and chip with mushy pea person

Next I will be accused of drinking German larger.

 

I heard back from the seller and I'm not going to comment on whether this is a valid product/offer, but in the most basic sense he wasn't saying the right things when asked. He was evasive about how he interfaces with the car- even as simply as a question as to what gauges and systems work and what don't, etc.,.

I'm into this space and have an idea of what the general technical capabilities are out there. No one has cracked the Stype CAN code that I know of- and I get calls about this from time to time (from customers). Don't get me wrong- this is indeed a problem that can be solved, but it takes a major investment ($$) in a CAN software engineer's time, not to mention the cost of some hardware to put the solution to work in the car. I'm not getting the feeling this seller has done that. Most resellers and shops that have a product to be proud of are also very proud to tell you about it. This does not appear to be the case here which for me is a red flag.....

My $.02

Should have asked him if he mistakenly placed a "4" in the $41,895.00.

My $.02, The only money this guy is going get is from the crusher for scrap value. Basically anyone just looking at the pictures and as mentioned above very little about said "conversion" wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole and both hands....

 

I've had several more communications with the poster. He seemed more concerned weather I was a "serious buyer" than sharing any information. He wrote that he has 2 other engine swaps in process that are "LS" based, BMW and another Jaguar. He wrote that doing engine swaps is his business. I don't think he has a clue what he is going to do electrically and will probably *******ize the car even more. I asked him some more detailed questions about how he planned to deal with the Jag PWM codes that need to be received from the ECM before many of the sub modules with work. - He avoided the topic.

I think as many of us a possible should send him questions about the swap and overwhelm him so he will pull down the listing. We don't want some poor sap buying the car for $40+k - There are suckers out there.

 

OMG! Something I just realized! The image of the engine compartment shown with the "LS" engine IS NOT the engine compartment of the 2000 S-type car shown in the ad!
The ABS module is on the wrong side, and the body color is white!, The strut towers are different.

The joker selling the car must be only trying to drum up business/interest for an engine swap and likely hasn't even started a swap on the car shown.

 

Good catch! Also would the 4L60E work with the J-Gate?

The seller sbea9298 has close to 250 ebay transactions, 100% positive, member since 2012. He has a bunch of motors and trannys up for auction as well as a '89 IROC Z for $65,000.00! Interesting description.

Maybe he just dumps in the engine+trans and doesn't connect them to any of the Jag modules.

Maybe fits 24" wheels too.

If you check he has been buying most of the time rather than selling
