Newby from Canada
Hello All,
I would like to introduce myself
I am Skooba Kowboy from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
This is my first post anywhere in the world.
I joined the forum because I wanted to share my recent experience of taking on an LS1 conversion in a 1998 XK8
I want to make it clear that I am not affiliated with any business in any way
I'm just a guy with a great Jag that decided to take on the conversion
As this is my first post, I will be brief
I will post the details in future if anyone is interested
I will offer this short synopsis:
I bought an XK8 for my wife three years ago and the tranny blew in June 2012 (high miler)
Not having oodles of cash I investigated several options and decided on the conversion. I worked with Jaguar Specialties and the experience was challenging and very rewarding.
Momma has her Kitty back and life is good.
Being from Canada this was quite the ordeal but I was surrounded by great and talented friends without whom this would not have been possible
Thank you to all who have posted a variety of messages that were instrumental in assisting me as well
All the best
SK aka Mark J

Thanks for the warm welcome
Thank you all for the warm welcome
In the interest of not boring everyone with a very long story I will post the conversion in segments in the near future
I will work on a format that hopefully will be informative and fun (with pictures of course)
Trust me, there will be a laugh or two in here
Cheers,
SK

That conversion will make for a very interesting thread. Looking forward to reading it.
