Default XK120 Converting back to 3.4 from Sm Block

Hi Guys, Just bought myself a XK120 OTS to restore and keep. I have the original motor and tranny but somebody had the car with a small block and ripped out the pedals and all of the linkage. So I am trying to get things sorted before I tear it apart.
Does any body have what I need to help bring a XK back? Or any ideas as to after market pedals and assembles?

Thanks Jerry

I suspect not much in the after market, but there is a lot of commonality with the Mark V and Mark VII chassis-wise. You'll need somebody who's an expert in these cars to tell you what fits, though.

Thanks for the info.
I just hoping somebody would have a set of pedals and linkage sitting in their garage that needs a new home.
There should be some after market racing pedals that function more comfortable then the stock ones. Anybody with any ideas?

You could try SNG Barratt to see what they have. Also try the internet, you never know what may come up. Thing to bear in mind is that Jaguar never spent money if they could get away with spending nothing, so as far as possible, parts for the saloons would be used in the sports cars to keep costs down. The XK cars were only made in small numbers compared to the saloons.
