This has come up before.
One of the fellows on Jag-Lovers is, I think, in the midst of such as project.
I think there is one other such car out there somewhere...perhaps in the UK.
The electrics are tricky but, as I understand it, just getting the engine to fit is quite a challenge, thanks to the extra bulk/width of the supercharger and associated plumbing.
Cheers

From memory the DB7 was a 3.2 supercharged.
I was thinking of the 4 litre XJR6 engine, but you all make a good point.
I remember the talk when the Aston was released that it 'had a Jag engine', which is almost as annoying as those people that say Jags were 'just a Ford'...
Anyway, if the DB7 was based on the AJ16, how much of the engine differed from a Jaguar engine?
