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

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! 8O

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.
