engine for Jaguar Daimler double six 12- cylinder 6.0 litre year 1972 ?
Is possible that is this engine for Jaguar Daimler double six 12- cylinder 6.0 litre from year 1972 ? Or is wrong date ?
How much is worth with gearbox ? https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...c2d37588bc.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...e2faeb352c.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...2e077f0fd3.jpg |
It wouldn't be from 1972, no.
Not sure about value Cheers DD |
I'd say 1995 or 1996, with 4L80e transmission.
People do buy these up. Normal from down under has bought a few, I think for $1500USD. Rob |
Centainly not 1972,
A/C compressor and 4L80E transmission suggest its a 1993 - 1996 As for value....generally low, These late v12 vehicles were sold in small quantities and very reliable so very few replacements are needed. Block would be good for a swap but engine management becomes an issue. That said if you need one in that state you might not find another for a long time. |
Thanks for info... so is possible to put this 6.0 engine + gearbox into my XJS 5.3 - 1983 ? What do I need to convert ? Computers, wirings? How much work is it?

So as I see it, a 4l60E, adapter and stand alone controller would offer similar performance to a 6.0 / 4l80e for much lower cost which could get done and back on the road in a reasonable amount of time. As a general rule, never convert a car to something that already exists, just go buy it. It will cost about the same or less in the end if you factor in resale value. It's better to convert a car to something that does not exist for example, adding a 6 speed T56 or 4l60e. Both transmissions are a better fit for a GT. Time is money, life is short. Plan accordingly. |
Yes I agree with you - time is money, life is short ;) My 5.3 engine is ok, but have problems with Oil leaking. Every year is worst (rear crankshaft seal). Repair is complicated and very expensive...One more question: is possible to put only 6.0 engine inside (is same dimensions? )and hold all odhers components same ( my gearbox, computer, whires, fuel injections…). Or this this 6.0 engine need totally different "support"?

I've always admired the Jaguar V12. Ran a Daimler Double-Six VdP in 1976 but the single figure mpg forced me back to a 6 cylinder in less than eight months.
I think this summarises the V12 development and models: 5.3 Litre 1971-1974: E-type Series III 1972-1981: Jaguar XJ12 1975-1977: Jaguar XJ12C 1972-1981: Daimler Double-Six 1975-1977: Daimler Double-Six Coupe 1975-1981: Jaguar XJ-S 5.3 Litre HE 1982-1992: Jaguar XJ-S / Jaguar XJS 1982-1992: Jaguar XJ12 1982-1992: Daimler Double-Six 6.0 Litre 1988-1993: Jaguar XJR-S 1993-1995: Jaguar XJS 1993-1997: Jaguar XJ12 1993-1997: Daimler Double-Six Daimler is the prestige Jaguar model specification in Europe and Australia but not available in the US where Mercedes own the rights to the brand. I expect the highest US specification would therefore have been marketed as Jaguar XJ12 Vanden Plas. It would be good to determine engine number ranges for the above but I can't find anything official from Jaguar. Graham |

As a practical matter, not a good use of time. becasue in the end you will have solved an oil leak but created many new issues. I get your dilema, the early rope seal car leak bad. some times. You may want to repair it. Review this. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...l-seal-151343/ If you like the car you may want to approach it differently. Engine out, fix the seals upgrade / replace engine mounts Upgrade / replace rack, subframe and suspension bushes New exhaust donuts and or down pipes Install 4l60E In the end you'll have an over all better car for a lower price that's less of a science project. Might still leak a bit here and there. The 6.0 / 4l80e is a great combo but with out the complete harness, TCU and ECU it's just not practical, Doable yes, if you want to climb that mountain becasue its there then go for it but the learning curve is steep if you've not done this before. |
