What sort of Jag is this?

[Morat]

From a Jeep forum in the USA... it looks like it's going to have small block Chevy stuck in there

Series 3 xj?

Looks like it. the 4.2 was fun to drive, but not as much fun as the 5.3v12..

Miles, you're one sick puppy being on a cherokee forum!

It is indeed a Sries 3 XJ.

[Morat]

I have the sickness! I want another cherokee... with LPG and a floorpan this time.
Plus, their forums are fun. Top thread last week was "Where do you mount your holster for your Concealed Carry Pistol". Nutters


So, how long would the drive train of a Series 3 XJ last with a chevy small block up front?

Having read up on the fuel injection used on these things, I'm not surprised it isn't running very well. Analogue FI sounds like a complete nightmare. Was it as bad in the metal?

Years. The Jag rear end was always used in the rodding and had some serious V*s put through many of them.

And the small block conversions into XJ's isn't a new idea. Theres been a few. And they handle a V12 ok.

Twin turbo it like the later Chasseur Stealth XJ40.

^That man knows the score! Or the Janspeed twin turbo Xj40.

Always wanted a series 3 XJC
