Funny, as the word is the same in both languages as I recall.

Apparently there are now kits to put a Hemi 5.7 into lots of applications. Vice
Grip Garage put one in a square body Chevy.
I wonder if you could put something like a Pentastar v6 into a Jag, it's quite
a small engine. Looks goofy under the hood of my pickup.
305hp, scoots along pretty good.
Like buttah, baby!
Yes, the smoothness of the V12 and chassis was such that it would mess with
your head, making you think you were just floating along when you’re really
ripping up the pavement.
The first time I drove an XJ12 I was on a two lane local street with a 30 mph
limit. I didn’t
Yeah but the smoothness of the Jag V12 (when it was working) was remarkable, so
I'm told.

There have been a number of companies out there selling conversion kits to
domestic iron, as it’s not terribly difficult to do, since a lot of the older
Jags used domestic transmissions. I know of a couple that did conversions with
short block Chevies.. Definitely made them more reliable and
Sounds a lot like what happens when you acquire a large old wooden boat.

There used to be a company selling conversion kits to install a small
block Ford V8 into the Jags.
Might not be all that easy to find a 289 or 302 these days. The newer
engines tend to be wider.

This is why being a Jaguar mechanic in the early 1980s was a very good job. I
likened it to being a mortician. No matter how bad things get, you’ll always
have work.
And yes, those dual chain engines were a real treat to work on. Even the 3.8
and 4.2 sixes were not pleasant to do.

If it is true to form for a V12 Jag... each head has a seized exhaust
valve, so you would have to pull BOTH heads... and you need to pull the
engine because the only way to pull the heads is to use a head press tool
to jack the heads off the studs.. don't forget the cam drive chains [two
sets]
1. Pull the engine out to work on it. You will find lots of other things
that need attention and can NOT be accessed with the engine in..
2. Plan for 6 months of 8 to 10 hr days only devoted to the Jag.
3. Become very friendly with your bank officers, well in advance.
4. When you are all done, and

Nightmare. You have to practically pull the whole front clip to get at the
engine in these. Don’t ask me how I know.
If you want a Jag, stick to the Ford produced models (late 90s?), They’re
actually pretty reliable.
