Thread: Looking for help for custom Jaguar hot rod

Tweet

It does sound like a cool project. I'm sure most purists would choke on it, but that probably won't bother anyone around here (the project or the choking). We're hot rodders and modifications is what we do.

It might be hard to double that Jag's HP without forced induction of some kind. An Eaton supercharger or even a Procharger would get you close. Combine that with port fuel injection and you would have very tunable and driveable setup. It would obviously be a full custom installation.

There is (or was) a company named Jags That Run. They specialized in Jag repowers with Ford, Chevy small blocks and LS engines. As I understand it, they sold just about everything you needed to drop one of those engines in a Jag sedan. The pictures I've seen of their conversions look like the Jaguar factory put them in.

I'm not sure if Kindig does it, but some high end, big name builders will require you let them show your car for something like a year before they take a big build.
