Jaguar Mk.X

If you're a wussy you post it on www.jag-lovers.org. If you're not you build it. I'll sell you an EFI swap, complete with computer, wiring harnesses, and a burned-up engine and good transmission for $200. For $400 I'll throw in enough DOM to build a cage.

OK it doesn't have much of a market.. you might be able to sell the carbs to someone for as much as say $1500 but expect them to be extremely pissed when they don't fit on the XK-E that they bought them for.. (the manifold is differant, it looks the same but it won't fit an XK-E  (hits the frame rail)  Oh it's possible that the wood can be saved.. so don't throw it away  especially the little picnic tables on the back of the front seat.. those are simply too cool to waste..  Same with the leather!  I've seen some really nasty leather brought back with some scrubbbing and neats foot oil. .. They are cool seats to sit in the garage or recreation room. (need to be set up a little bit)..  The chrome might have a market.. not many Mk 10's left and if someone needs chrome they will pay dearly for shiney parts..  The guages have some value and can be taken apart and cleaned.. Do try to save the Tach.. twist the glass cover off,  drain the water,  spray WD40 in and gently with a nice soft piece of clean cotton wipe stuff out.. then respray rewipeetc.. until it looks new..
  The IRS is the same basic one as the later XJ6/12 front suspension is differant.. (needs major help in the sway bar department) 
You can upgrade the brakes several ways..
Well you got yourself a real racer there.. 265 horsepower!  Lots of bottom end torque..   I'll walk you through whatever you need.. I'll explain what fits and how to tune that baby up so it will run like a scalded ape.
  You'll want to do a quarter Jag though..  That Borg warner* transmission won't last  30 minutes in a  race if it's in perfect shape! You've got lots of options though, some really cheap and  some more expensive..
* Borg Warner transmission was used in Studebakers, Packards and  when GM's transmission factory  burned down some Pontiacs &Oldsmobles .. even a few Cadillacs.  (Buick had their own dynaflow, Chevy the powerglide)  Cheapest swap is with the aluminum bell housing of the Borg Warner modified to take a T5  (it's also the best swap)
Just E-mail me with questions.

The Borg Warner trans maligned above shares its internals with the Volvo 242 series...
Trustworthy and rebuildable on yer own, but yeah, not very good w/o cooling and care.

Jim, any second looks at this beast?

ask if they'll take scrap value for it while you're there...ya know, like...$300?

I take it the Jag 4-speed you're referring to isn't a BW55? I've had our engine/transmission/ecu posted for sale on Jag-lovers for over a month now for $300 and only had one email response. It sure would be nice to sell that lump of junk.

yeah, and I think he's doing a little tongue-in-cheek about the value of the jag 4sp unit, as he appears to have been trying to sell the whole bulk of iron for little more than scrap value and the jagophiles aren't touching it. I like the T5 idea, lets get some pics of that bad boy and start plotting something. A British sheep perhaps? we could all show up in overalls and flannel shirts!

EDIT: just thought about that one, it'd have to be a british cat, complete with a fat, lazy, garfield-esque cat on the roof.
