Very nice work, but not my cup of tea.

The LS engines are amazing and now make hot-rodding relatively cheap, reliable and practically plug-and-play, but I find their ubiquitous use uninspiring. Plus, just my opinion, but I don't like shoe-horning an american V8 into a Jaguar, whether an SIII or X308.


Nearly as popular as an oil thread in the X308 forum Lots of opinions:

It's probably an awesome ride! An even though I do think V8's are great, I really don't feel they belong in this car. (Maybe not even in any jaguar ) The xj should be all about the legendary straight six or the v12. And most definitely not any kind of diesel engine.

Agree with Al and Tcasmarcus. Never a fan of mix-n-match in motoring. It is not the same as Rolls Royce's engine in Batman's car.
